Today’s episode is on the best DIY potting mix for indoor plants and container gardening. The various ingredients like cocopeat, peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, red soil, compost, manure, vermicompost, bone meal, neem cake, etc to increase flowering and fruiting with the function of each will be explained with simple concepts.
Urban gardening or small-space gardening in containers is on the rise! And the number of people growing plants indoors is also on the rise. The most important aspect of container gardening is the potting medium used, because this, along with light and moisture will be the most important factor to help your plants grow healthier and disease free.
I never use the commercial potting mixes available, which are infact too expensive. I rather prefer to make my own homemade potting mix recipe for both my indoor and outdoor plants.
We will learn about the ingredients we use to prepare our indoor soil mix, one by one. We will list out the formula or the recipe with the proportions of each ingredient used, shortly.
Before the formula or recipe, lets know the difference between Potting Mix and Potting Soil. Potting Mix is simply a mixture of all the above ingredients minus the garden soil. That’s means it is a soil less medium. On the other hand, Its called Potting soil when you use garden soil in the mixture. That’s simple! But most often these two terms are used synonymously.
