Equal parts perlite, coco coir, orchid bark, horticultural charcoal, leca & fluval stratum
Soil Description:
Perlite is a lightweight volcanic glass that improves drainage and aeration. It keeps soil light, prevents compaction, and helps roots access oxygen, great for avoiding root rot. Coco Coir, made from coconut husks, holds moisture well while still draining excess water. It provides a soft, airy base for roots and is a sustainable alternative to peat moss. Orchid Bark adds chunkiness to the mix, improving airflow and drainage. It mimics the natural environment of epiphytes and slowly breaks down to enrich soil over time. Horticultural Charcoal helps purify the soil by absorbing excess moisture, toxins, and odors. It also promotes beneficial microbes and supports root health. LECA (Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate) offers excellent aeration and water regulation. These clay balls absorb moisture and slowly release it to roots while preventing overwatering. Fluval Stratum is a nutrient-rich, porous volcanic soil that supports root development, maintains pH balance, and slowly releases minerals, enhancing overall plant health.Together, these ingredients create a well-balanced, breathable, and nutrient-rich medium, ideal for healthy, thriving houseplants.
