Monstera Best Soil?
Looking at different Potting soils, which brand would be best?

@PrinceVince44 There are a lot of great mixes out there! I’d say it’s important to get it from a reputable supplier. You want it to have been stored properly, free of pests and protected from water. I prefer to shop locally so I can inspect the bag for holes. That said, in a pinch I’ve ordered from AMZ. Fox Farm, Dr Earth, Happy Frog, EB Stone Edna’s Best are all good ones. Just make sure you get indoor potting mix, NOT outdoor potting mix or soil. Outdoor is heavier (compost, pine bark) and may contain bugs or microbes you don’t want inside. Also important to get the right mix for the plant. Research what your plant naturally lives in and get that, it’ll be happier 👍. If you have just one or two plants to pot look at some of the specialty stores like rePotme or Rosy soil. I get my orchid and Hoya mixes from them. It costs a bit more but it’s the right mix and the right amount. Many people like to mix their own but I’m not interested in buying multiple ingredients, getting the right percentages and storing leftovers.
Meant to add I haven’t used any that I’d never use again. I have seen some say they had a bad experience with Miracle Grow mixes but I’ve never used it. Could have been bad bags or wrong mix for indoor houseplant. 🤷♀️
