Westland Houseplant Potting Compost Mix and Enriched with Seramis, 8 L

Product Information

The size tip provided for each hydroculture plant provides a recommended size for the external diameter of the decorative pots that will accommodate the specified waterproof liner. Alternatively, for a professional design look, the plant can be repotted directly into a pot liner with a layer of hydrogranules to provide both a drainage layer and a reservoir for the plant. All of the plants at House of Kojo are sold with our live arrival guarantee, which guarantees the health of every plant that we deliver. Coco-coir is highly absorbent and retains moisture well, while also promoting good drainage, ensuring that your plants do not become waterlogged. Our mix is made using a unique blend of four key ingredients: coco-coir, perlite, pine bark, and worm castings.

Special professional recipe helps the plant retain moisture, giving it more time to 'sip' water as it needs hydration.If the intention is to leave the plant in its grow pot and sit it directly into the Artstone planter rather than re-potting the plant directly into the planter, please ensure you select a large enough size that will have enough internal height to hide the grow pot. Top tip – use a Westland Houseplant Watering Indicator so you know exactly when to water, they change colour when your plant needs a drink.

Introducing our premium houseplant potting mix, specially formulated to provide your indoor plants with the perfect growing medium for healthy and vibrant growth. Its sustainable, basal component (coconut coir) is peat-free sourced from a well-established company in southern England that comply with strict production regulations in the U.

testing has shown excellent results with a huge range of plants from Monstera ‘Thai Constellation’, all the way to a Ficus, Begonia and a Pelargonium. To allow the plant to acclimatise in its new home, there should be no repotting of the plant for a minimum of 14 days after receipt. P is for PUMICE This volcanic rock makes a good alternative to perlite, and may be considered more sustainable as it is available at the surface rather than being mined, plus it does not have to be heated to high temperatures during processing. Listen to an interview with Arvin Bhudia of Lechuza Pon about their pon products in On The Ledge episode 198.Houseplants love being in a mix that lets water run past their roots instead of sitting in a waterlogged pot. P is for PERLITE This is another non-renewable source - volcanic glass that’s mined from the ground and heated so it expands: views over its sustainability vary. The soil should not be so shallow that without drainage the roots will sit in water, nor so deep that the water drains below the roots leaving the plant to dry out. These planters work best with the plant re-potted directly into them rather than left in their grow pots.

This blogpost sprang from three episodes of my houseplant podcast On The Ledge, breaking down a variety of substrates with my guest Nikolic Vladan, aka Mr Houseplant. For round shaped decorative pots we provide the external diameter of the widest point so you get a sense of how large the pot is on the outside, as well as the width of the opening. These granules absorb water and nutrients and then release them to the plant as and when they need it. We formulate the soil ourselves and keep it in quarantine for at least 14 days to ensure there are no soil-borne pests like Fungus Gnats! The potting mix is peat free and is made only from clean, safe, professional grade horticultural ingredients.A silicon rich substance made form a sedimentary rock created bu the bodies of millions of fossilised algae. Note: Liners are "squashy" so they can be pushed through the opening to expand and fit closer to the pot wall once inside. Check your planter will be tall enough to hide the grow pot if you are not re-potting directly into the planter.
