  • Snake plant in a white pot on white background

    All Purpose

    A general mix for hardy plants or ones which prefer things staying a little moister for a little longer. Coco and compost will retain water and provide nutrients with the addition of pearlite and bark to give room to breathe.

    Tropical

    Our topical potting mix is similar in many ways to our all purpose mix but with improved drainage and aeration, meaning this mix can also be used for plants that would typically prefer a general mix but if the conditions in your home are cooler and less bright, opting for this mix may be better.

  • Close-up of white orchid flowers on a branch against a plain background.

    Trailing Plants

    Trailing plants generally have shallow roots and are prone to overwatering, so in this mix we focus on aeration and drainage to avoid overwatering and encouraging healthy root growth.

  • Young basil plant in a white pot with soil, green leaves, on a white background.

    Citrus & Mediterranean

    Our citrus and Mediterranean mix is for those plants which need to keep hydrated and prefer a heavier soil. Overwatering can still be an issue so we have added pearlite and pumice to improve aeration to fight the root rot.
