The Making of DIY Soil

I go back and forth between my diy and pre-mixed bags. Usually larger potted plants are in the DIY mix and smaller potting jobs get the premixed bags.
When I first started getting into plant care, I had no idea different plants had different soil preferences. And while this can be as simple and complicated as you like, I will say 99% of my houseplants are all in a chunkier mix made of organic and inorganic components. I don’t want my mixes to be TOO well-draining because I can’t keep up with frequent waterings, but I also want to make sure it’s not too moisture-retentive for more sensitive water-hating plants like my baby Thai Cons 🫣
But all of this is moot if you are constantly dropping all your plants anyway ☠️
My worst plant accident was dragging a shelf of plants down with a trailing Pothos I was moving. What’s yours 🥸

I hate it when plants are newly repoted and fall out of the pot, like just come out of the soil. Usually propagations
It might be extra but it’s well worth it 💗
Getting your own good mix is so nice and makes all the difference, every time I'm improving it my plants are even happier! I had this Dieffenbachia Reflector that was nagging... my new perfect mix plus a smaller pot fixed it 😮
I love when things go right like that
I am absolutely obsessed with your soil mix and your library 😍😍
GET A VARIAGATED PEACE LILY! DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!!
I recently indulged!
Ooooooh you tempt me
My white variegated vanilla is in my top 5 for sure! The vine stem carries the striped pattern out to the leafs, it’s so mesmerizing!
Your soil recipe is so rich 🥹
The soil looked like COCOA POWDER
Leca is worth the investment because you can sterilize and reuse it a number of times.
I like 100% natural hardwood charcoal, it’s super cheap and you can break it into the size you need.
I also keep worms so they produce that healthy bacteria for free.
Plants don’t care about a band name.
This is very helpful thank you!! ❤
You're so welcome!
LOVE Rosy Soil! 🩷
I’ve been experimenting with it and love it
Your set up is goals 🙏 🔥
Thank you 🙌
I just dropped my big propagation pot I potted.. the ceramic pot cracked and the plastic container bounced everything back out to the floor 🥴🥴🥴
Nooooooooooo
I been making my own soil mix for several years, however my struggles are mostly with organizing all my tools and different pods. That’s where I need some tips
The absolute worst is when you are soo clumsy and break all of your propagation glasses ! 🥺 and dropping your soil plants is ALMOST equally frustrating 😭😭
That’s why I switched to plastic cups I save from takeout for props!!! I do the saaaame
Love ALL your videos 😍 😂 also, where do you get those clear pots ???
They’re linked in my LinkTree on my channel! Sorry RUclips doesn’t allow me to drop hyperlinks anymore
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow yes!! I did some digging and found all your links, thank you!!!
Do you have a video on how to get rid off pest or what to use ?
I have maaaaaaany
That is my go to soil or I when I make my own I use pon, perlite, coco husks, and leca
Excellent mix!
You should try keeping a bucket of composting worms. Worm castings are full of the same beneficial bacteria and fungi you buy. The worms will eat your junk mail and kitchen scraps, and turn it into a steady supply of soil amendments.
You could save a lot of money by farming it yourself!
If you can keep plants alive, you can keep a bucket of worms alive!
That is definitely a next level of plant parenthood I have not unlocked 😅
Do you soak or wash your LECA when you use it as a soil amendment?
I think it's funny when people call you extra when literally my allocasia black velvet is dying because I want it to survive in the same conditions as all of my other plants I don't have time for a funky acting plant But I'm also propagating three corms because I am a glutton for punishment.... What I'm saying is we're all a little bit extra for the things that we're passionate about❤
Exactly! 💚
Mam, my jaw dropped when u accidentally dropped that pot at d end, i gasped
☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
😮😮 is that mix good for any plant? Looks delicious 😋 for my plants of course 😅 I have some succulents, do you think they could benefit from that mix? Please help, I don't want to kill them 😅
For succulents I’d add (coarse) sand , and either do perlite or pumice (whichever one is more available to you) & I’d leave out the LECA and bark (: In my personal experience succulents benefit more from a gritty soil than an airy soil
The mix she showed is a good mix for a lot of plants, but not per say the best for every plant (even if most would still be fine with that mix).
Agreed!
99% of my plants are in them. I do have succulents and cacti that are in succulent and cacti specific mixes with more sand and grittiness but I also have succulents and cacti in this mix that are fine as well haha
I see a ladder type stand behind you. Was that custom made?
No I bought it like that! Linked on my storefront
💚🪴💚
Does that soil mix work for pretty much any type of plant except cacti and succulents?
99% of my houseplants (including some succulents and cacti) are in it! My more water loving plants like calatheas are in straight soil - no amendments
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow thank you for always taking time to answer questions. ❤️❤️
DIY soil? I thought she was going to make some soil 😒 so basically this video is about things to add into your soil…OK
That’s literally what soil is. A combination of amendments
