50/50 Perlite Vermiculite Blend (2 Quarts); Premixed Soil Additive for Moisture Control and Drainage
Both perlite and vermiculite are put to use in the garden to improve drainage, prevent compacted soil and increase moisture retention. They are both used widely in gardening.What does Perlite do? - Perlite are the white pieces you see in most retail potting mixes. Perlite, an all natural volcanic glass that is popped like popcorn under high heat. This creates a light airy stone like material. It is known for its ability to increase soil aeration when incorporated in mixes. This allows for quality water retention and shedding away of excess water or "soupy" moisture.What does Vermiculite do? - Vermiculite is an all natural silicate mineral closely related to mica. Vermiculite is used widely in horticulture for its moisture and nutrition retention ability, allowing for the absorption and slow release of both.

Avocado Tree Potting Soil Mix (12 Quarts), for Germinating, Growing and Repotting Avocado Plants
Our mix is hand-blended soil for planting and growing avocado trees. It is fast draining to encourage growth without root rot or mold. Avocado trees prefer their soil to drain completely and quickly between waterings. The ingredients each serve a purpose. Peat moss is great for water and nutrient retention in soil. It is also a good source of organic matter that will slowly degrade to feed your soil. Perlite is often used as a soil amendment for its water retention and drainage capabilities. It also provides air flow to roots to prevent root rot. Sand's purpose in gardening is providing extra drainage in soil. Lime is used to balance pH in soil. TIPS: Make sure your soil is not compacted and that your pot has good drainage. Water frequently with an occasional deep soak. Keep the plant moist but not overly saturated. As with most plants, make sure the soil drains well. Pinch the stem back every time your plant grows another six inches or so, in order to encourage a bushier appearance. If you live in a warm enough climate, plant your tree outside once it is big enough. After several years, it may actually bear fruit. INGREDIENTS: Peat moss, perlite, sand, and lime

Banana Tree Potting Soil Mix (12 Quarts), Hand Blended Mixture for Banana Plants
Banana trees have special requirements for container gardening. Banana plants love it for their soil to be nutritious yet drain quickly. Soggy soil will rapidly kill your banana plant. We utilize peat moss as a base. Then we add additional perlite, sand, fir bark, and lime to create a loose well draining soil that will stay a bit moist but will not hold water and cause root rot or plant death. Worm castings act as a natural compost and create a richer soil.TIP: Whether inside or out, potted bananas need full sun, with six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day. They also need lots of water to keep their large leaves well hydrated. Check the soil in your container frequently, especially in hot summer temperatures and if the plant is indoors where humidity might be low.Ingredients: Peat moss, perlite, worm castings, sand, pine bark, and lime.

Cactus and Succulent Potting Mix (8 Quarts), Special Blend-Fast Draining and Desert-Style Gritty
Both cacti and succulents require a porous, sandy or pebbly potting soil that provides plenty of aeration and excellent drainage. This deluxe soilless blend includes pine bark, special coarse silica sand, horticultural pumice, and calcined clay, making it a perfect growing environment for cacti and other succulent plants. Pine bark is fast draining and provides plenty of space for aeration to roots. Sand is also great for drainage assistance. It also lessens the risk of compaction. Pumice reduces water runoff and fertilization by increasing soil absorption in sandy soils. Calcined clay can help with drainage and also hold and release nutrients to plant roots with its high cation-exchange capacity. Tips: Remember cacti and succulents don’t like a lot of water. Don’t overwater and allow to fully dry out between watering. Ingredients: Pine bark, coarse silica sand, calcined clay, and pumice
