🪴 The "Ultimate Aroid Mix" Haul!
I ordered the ingredients to make a custom, professional-grade substrate:
• Coco Coir: The sustainable, moisture-holding base.
• Coco Chunks: For massive airflow and structure (no more compacted roots!).
• Perlite: To ensure perfect drainage so I never have to worry about root rot.
• Horticultural Charcoal: To keep the mix "sweet," clean, and filtered.
• Pebble Food (Slow-Release Fertilizer): To feed my plants consistently for months.
I also add charcoal but I have half a bag left from my last batch
What this substrate does:
1. Breathes: The chunks and perlite create air pockets so roots can "breathe."
2. Hydrates: The coco coir acts like a sponge, holding just enough water.
3. Feeds: Since coco coir is neutral, the "pebble food" provides a steady stream of nutrients every time I water.
Time to go get my hands dirty! 👋✨
🤩I can’t wait for all of them to come in !! Feeling like a chemist lol
What substrates do you all use ? Do you make your own or do you buy the standard soil bags mixed already ?
