    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.

    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.

    Barks and perlite are expensive in my region. Are there any alternative amendments that could improve drainage?

    • @ThisisaPlant
      @ThisisaPlant  5 лет назад

      Great question! Sand (coarse is preferable) can help with drainage and is readily available. I would recommend vermiculite and pumice too but those might be expensive too. You can also try and use just small amounts of rocks or pebbles too. And surprisingly, coir from coconuts help will drainage and water retention. Hope this helps!

    Can I just add small rocks/pebbles instead of perlite? It seems like it’s just there to add air holes/space and not let the spike compact too much. If it doesn’t have some kind of fertilization in it or essential nutrients then wouldn’t small pebbles do the same thing??

I can't get over the moldy smell it is strong. Do you think soil is bad? I am newbie at planting containers for my inside apartment.

    Can potting mix catch fire by itself? We had a wooden planter with dried potting mix in it(nothing planted so far) and all of sudden around 7am(4° C) I saw fumes and the both bottom corners of my wooden planter were on fire! We never smoke and right now it's cold so we are not even using the balcony and we live on the top floor! It has really surprised us ,please let me know if you can shed some light on it?
