@Kwanna I use Miracle Gro that help keep from under watering and over watering. That will work great with the perlite and coir brick you have.

@RJG · Answer

Fox Farms Happy Frog is my favorite

@ShinyBudew · Answer

@Kwanna I second the fox farm soil line, I have one plant in fox farm when I got it from my local plant shop and others in miracle gro when I repotted it, the fox farm one GREW and also has less fungus gnats!

I've been trying out Good Dirt, so far so good

@cascadianroots · Answer

I really enjoy this brand, G&B Organics 🥰 they have almost every single substrate available in like a 1.5 cubic feet bag, perfect for mixing blends.

@PlantEsteem · Answer

Haha!!! @PlantMompy agreed....I go for good old dirt most times....but I love coast of Maine potting soil when I have it on hand.

@PlantMompy · Answer

Good Dirt is actually the brand 😂 BUT I do reuse old potting soil if the plant was healthy. I use Coast of Maine exclusively in my outdoor pots and raised beds!!

You have the beginnings of a nice custom mix if you want to go that route. My soil is a combination of coco coir, bark, perlite, worm castings, and then I'll add in charcoal or pumice or other amendments based on how much drainage I want it to have or nor have.

@Sleepysunday · Answer

Whats your potting soil for? I find customising based on your plant type is the best. Some plants appreciate airy chunky mix. So those I mixed in large sized pumice, som perlite, bark and charcoal.
