INFORMATION
Soil, together with light, water and temperature, determines whether and how your green roommates thrive. Your plants should not only be in the right place at home, but above all in the right soil that supplies them with water, oxygen and nutrients and provides support. There is no perfect basic recipe for all plants, the composition of the individual components varies depending on the needs of the plant and your care habits. Commercial potting soil with a small drainage layer of clay granules can be a solution. But that’s better!
What you need
Step 1/6
Spray the perlite lightly with water and fill a measuring unit into the mixing tray. Perlite increases the air storage capacity and provides long-lasting structural stability. If you tend to water too much, increase the amount of perlite.
Step 2/6
Soak coconut fibers or spaghnum moss in water and add half a measuring unit. They increase the water storage capacity. If you tend to water too little, increase the dose slightly.
Step 3/6
Add a measuring unit of compost. This contains nutrients and has good air and water storage capacity.
Step 4/6
Add half a measuring unit of pine bark. This ensures lasting structural stability and increases the air storage capacity.
Step 5/6
If you still want to do something good for your plant, you can add a quarter measuring unit of active charcoal. This has good filter qualities and contains micronutrients.
Step 6/6
Mix everything well. Done!
