This is the base soil mix I use for most of my houseplants, and it has made repotting so much easier. My recipe: 🌿 1 part potting soil 🤍 1 part perlite 🪵 1 part orchid bark Why I love it: • Potting soil holds moisture and nutrients. • Perlite improves drainage and keeps the mix light. • Orchid bark adds airflow and helps prevent compacted soil. From there, I make small adjustments depending on the plant. For example: 🌱 Monstera: I add a little extra orchid bark for even more airflow and drainage. 🌿 Peace lily: I add a little more potting soil because they prefer to stay evenly moist. 🌸 Hoya: I add a little extra perlite and orchid bark since they like a chunkier, faster draining mix. Having a big batch mixed and stored in a sealed container means I’m always ready when a plant needs repotting. houseplants plantcare indoorplants houseplantsofinstagram plantlover LTKHome LTKdayinmylife LTKmomlife
