At Soil Sunrise, we hand-blend each soil mixture to ensure you get quality every single time. Fiddle leaf figs prefer a soil high in organic matter with great drainage. That is why we have chosen to use the best combination of peat moss, perlite, lime, pine bark, and horticultural charcoal. This mix will ensure healthy growth of your fiddle leaf figs. TIP: Fiddle leaf figs prefer a humid environment. By placing a tray with pebbles and water near the plant and letting the water evaporate, you are helping your plant thrive in indoor conditions. Also, avoid moving your plant, it doesn’t like being turned or moved. Ingredients: Peat moss, pine bark mulch, perlite, horticultural charcoal, and lime
Palm trees require a loose porous mixture that allows for the soil to stay moist. However, it should shed excess water to avoid soggy roots that can cause root rot. By utilizing perlite and pumice, we create an airy mix that does just that. This is a perfect potting mix for Majesty Palm, Cat Palm, Parlor Palm, Ponytail Palm, Areca Palm, and many other popular container palm trees. TIP: A good rule of thumb, if you want healthy palms, is to make sure you feed them frequently—whether you're growing them indoors or outdoors. Ingredients: Peat moss, pumice, horticultural perlite and lime
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.
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
