Universal Soil Mix for Green Plants

Universal Soil Mix for Green Plants

Many households purchase green plants to add a natural touch to their homes or with the intention of purifying the air for the well-being of themselves and their families.

    However, if the acquired green plants wither away shortly after, it not only results in a small economic loss but also affects one's mood to a certain extent.

    This time, let's address a crucial issue in successfully nurturing green plants at home—the soil mix.

First, let's briefly understand green plants
  • Green plants refer to collectively cultivating green plants in households.
  • Green plants are primarily ornamental plants with attractive leaf colors or shapes.
  • Most green plants kept at home are tropical plants, such as golden pothos, money trees, etc.
    Since the majority of green plants originate from tropical rainforest areas, their growth conditions, soil requirements, and other factors are generally similar. This similarity provides convenience for creating a "universal soil mix" for our green plants.

    However, due to variations in plant species and placement within each household, if you want a soil mix that is more tailored to your plants, you need to further understand the characteristics of your plants and make adjustments based on the recommended soil mix.

    We can simplify the soil mix for green plants into two categories: Small Pot Green Plants and Large Pot Green Plants.
  • Small Pot Green Plants (pots with a diameter less than 20cm):
  • Minimalist version: 80% peat moss, 20% perlite
  • Upgraded version: 60% peat moss, 20% coconut coir, 10% perlite, 10% vermiculite
  • Luxury version: 40% peat moss, 20% coconut coir, 20% perlite, 10% vermiculite, 10% rice husk charcoal
Large Pot Green Plants (pots with a diameter greater than 20cm):
  • Minimalist version: 60% peat moss, 20% coconut coir, 20% perlite
  • Upgraded version: 50% peat moss, 20% coconut coir, 20% perlite, 10% vermiculite
  • Luxury version: 30% peat moss, 20% coconut coir, 20% perlite, 10% vermiculite, 10% rice husk charcoal, 10% rainbow stone
    Since most green plants are cared for indoors, without considering factors like rainwater, the "universal soil mix" mentioned above is suitable for the majority of plants in most households.
    We hope that through this explanation of soil mix for green plants, the greenery in your homes can thrive.
    Good soil is the foundation for the healthy growth of green plants, keeping them vibrant and attractive. Let a few pots of green plants brighten every corner of your home and, at the same time, uplift your mood.
