Not all potting mixes are created equal. That’s why we decided to custom craft our own specific to the different genus of houseplant’s needs complete with high-grade materials including perlite, charcoal, pine bark. Some plants retain water in rhizomes like ZZ and Snake plants, so maximum drainage is needed as they like to dry out in between watering. Others require more moisture retention including Prayer Plants (Calatheas) and Ferns.
All houseplants require nutrients, so we make sure our Dirt Bag has them while each of our other potting mixes lets you customize the nutrients based on the plants you’re growing. All of the bags offer proper drainage so your plants can get the right amount of water to grow healthy, vibrant, and ensure your collection thrives. Here’s how to pick which BWH Plant Co potting mix to buy.
- Dirt bag - this is our all purpose potting mix that works for all types of houseplants. It is formulated to provide superior aeration as well as drainage to help prevent root rot. The mix is completed with charcoal to filter water, its fast draining, and pH-balanced to ensure a healthy growing habitat for your houseplants.
- Coco bag - houseplants that thrive with more moisture but also need draining like prayer plants (calathea), ficus, and elephant ears (alocasia) will love the Coco bag. It is a blank slate so you can customize your plant’s nutritional intake, and has a mix of coconut coir and coconut chunks for moisture retention.
- Sphag - if you’re propagating plants, you’ll want to buy the sphag bag made of 100% premium-grade filtered sphagnum moss for maximum water retention.
