Composition

A finer, balanced composition for steady moisture

The structure distributes moisture through the root zone, while mineral components prevent dense compaction around fine roots.

In parts

The base of the mix

1.5 parts coco coir, 1 part worm castings, 1 part perlite and 1 part vermiculite, with small amounts of activated carbon and lava gravel, plus organic nutrients.

1.5 parts coco coir: Forms the base and distributes moisture evenly.
1 part worm castings: Adds bioactive organic matter and gradual nutrition.
1 part perlite: Maintains air channels and supports drainage.
1 part vermiculite: Retains water and releases it gradually to the roots.
Small amount activated carbon: Supports a cleaner root environment.
Small amount lava gravel: Adds stability and small air spaces.
Added organic nutrients: Provide built-in nutrition for the initial period.

Even moisture

Coco coir and vermiculite reduce abrupt swings between overly wet and overly dry mix.

Air around fine roots

Perlite and lava gravel maintain air spaces without making the mix excessively coarse.

Gentle bioactive base

Worm castings and organic nutrients support growth for about 180 days.

Repotting steps

Use & repotting

For Calathea, Maranta and plants that prefer a steady microclimate

Use it straight from the package in a pot with drainage and keep the mix lightly moist, not saturated.

01Remove loose old material

Support the root system carefully and avoid pulling the fine roots.

02Choose a balanced container

Use a pot with drainage holes; plastic or glazed ceramic slows excessive moisture loss.

03Fill gently

Add mix around the roots and settle it with light taps, without firm pressure.

04Water evenly

After repotting, wet the full mix and allow the excess water to drain.

Steady moisture does not mean standing water

Check the mix regularly and water before it dries out completely, while always allowing excess water to leave the pot.

We take care of the packaging!

With specially designed boxes, we ensure that the plants will reach you intact, no matter what they encounter on the way!

All plants in 3L pots or larger are placed in individual boxes that secure the plant at the base of the pot, preventing it from tipping over.

The cardboard used for the boxes is specially made to provide resistance to potential impacts during transport.
