HINT: DO NOT use “Garden Soil” in plant pots. I will help you choose the right potting mix for your indoor house plants. Potting mix vs potting soil? They’re the same thing. We will cover sphagnum peat moss, orchid mix, cactus potting mix, coco coir (coco peat), perlite, and vermiculite. I’ll also show you how to make your own organic potting soil & mix through amendments.
TLDR: If you’re watching this video at a home depot, lowes, or nursery right now, I’ll make it quick. Get the bag that says “POTTING MIX/SOIL.” It has to say “pot” or “potting”. Also, pick up the bag that says “PERLITE”… thank me later. Don’t get orchid or cactus mix unless you’re planting a cactus or orchid.
