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.

Hey! These type of videos are great! I would love to watch the one you mentioned about vermiculite & repotting plants in containers with no drainage hole 🌱💚

Well explained. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much…..but which brand of potting mix is best for lemongrass and Jasmine flower plants…
I am using miracle grow but not working much…
Where does compost (from a British garden centre, if that makes any difference) fit into this mix? I know mine contains peat, so I assumed it to be similar to the base mix.

This is likely a silly question but… Are houseplant mixes and potting/soil mixes the same thing?
When I didn’t know about planting, I had put my pothos rooted cuttings in a 5” pot with garden soil we had lol. Now that I got into planting and am now obsessed, boy was that a big mistake I made. Thank you for sharing 🙂 I love your style. More videos please.
