At Soil Sunrise, we hand-blend each soil mixture to ensure you get quality every single time. This blend is a mixture of coco coir, pumice, and horticultural charcoal. This is a great blend for growing ferns, African violets, and other popular terrarium or fairy garden plants. With these ingredients, you get great drainage, nutrient retention, water retention, and harbor healthy b@cteria to break down toxins. TIP: For closed-top terrariums, plants should be compact, humidity-loving and low-light compatible. Good choices are mosses and ferns, as well as orchids, bromeliads and many other easy-to-find houseplants. Avoid plants that prefer bright light and low humidity such as cactuses, succulents and most herbs [though mint is okay] — this 2nd group of plants work well in an open-top terrarium. Our soil mix will work with either type of terrarium. INGREDIENTS: coconut coir, pumice, and horticultural charcoal.
This mixture provides a great starter mix for propagating plants. Use this sterile blend to ensure your cuttings end up happy and healthy and can thrive even after the initial rooting stage. This is a high drainage mixture of peat moss, perlite, worm castings, and a bit of lime for pH balance. Provide natural nutrition in a fast-draining environment, perfect for starting new plants from cuttings. TIP: Propagating cuttings can be done a few ways. While most cuttings can take root easily and effectively in a high drainage soil medium such as this one, some gardeners choose to start theirs in water or use a rooting hormone, and then transfer to soil. Both ways work, but using a soil such as this is important in both cases to ensure proper nutrition and provide high drainage to eliminate root rot. INGREDIENTS: peat moss, perlite, worm castings, and lime for pH balance.
Our coco coir is double washed to ensure the best coco “peat,” free of dust, foreign objects, or particles that make the coir "muddy" when wet. You can plant directly in this mix with no additional ingredients. It won't compact and allows root aeration and productive growth. It is pH Balanced to create an ideal growing environment for many types of potted plants indoor or outdoor. This mixture is blended with container gardening in mind. It works like a sponge retaining moisture while still allowing drainage. This type of potting medium works great for houseplants such as Crotons, Lemon Lime Dracaena, Golden Pothos, Lucky Bamboo, Snake Plants, “Herb” growing and Peace Lilies. TIP: Coconut coir is not especially heavy in nutrients. Please research your specific plant needs before introducing a new product. INGREDIENTS: Coconut coir and perlite.

Various pine and pine barks will work with varying degrees of success with orchids.

Carnivorous plants predominantly originate from very moist “boggy” environments. You may want to consider “bottom-watering” your carnivorous plants by allowing your potted plant to continuously sit in a small saucer of standing water. When mixing your soil for initial use, it is best to thoroughly moisten the dirt mix until wet to the touch before using for planting. Ingredients: Perlite and peat moss blend
Soil Sunrise Monstera Deliciosa Exotic Houseplant Potting Mix; Monstera Deliciosa Soil Media, Choose Medium or Bulk Size These plants are unusual as they were first mixed up with Philodendrons. However, they are not related to them. They originate from Central America. We wanted to make a blend of potting mix optimized for this unique plant. TIPS: Yellow or Yellowing Monstera leaves are a sign that your plant may not be getting enough air or water. If you are using a mix that doesn’t offer enough drainage, your plant will be sitting in water. In simple terms, it’s drowning! If you are using a mix that doesn’t hold enough water, your plants may not be able to take in the water they need. This can also cause yellow leaves. Brown spots are a symptom of root rot caused by overwatering. These spots may appear small and then enlarge and/or spread throughout the plant over time. INGREDIENTS: peat moss, perlite, coconut coir, fir bark, worm castings, horticultural charcoal, and lime.

Birds of Paradise, Strelitzia reginae, will thrive in well-draining soil. This soil mixture includes a balance of peat moss, perlite, and lime.

Perlite has excellent drainage capabilities. Lime is used primarily for its ability to balance soil pH levels. Other Uses: This potting soil would also be suitable for Red Chinese Evergreen plants, Magenta Madagascar Dragon Tree plants, or ZZ plant. TIP: Birds of Paradise enjoy moist (but not soggy) soil, and being allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. Try not to let the soil dry completely through the pot, but also avoid overwatering. Allow the top 2-3 inches of the soil to become dry between waterings, but below that, it should remain moist. Ingredients: Peat moss, perlite, and lime

TIP: Like other succulents, hoya plants don’t respond well to soggy roots. Water only when the top few inches of soil are dried out. Make sure you use a pot with good drainage holes. INGREDIENTS: Peat moss, perlite, mulch, horticultural charcoal, worm castings, and lime.
