Like, you, I took planting quite seriously, pretty quickly. I wanted to give them the best possible conditions by buying them some nice bed of soil to live on.
So, i went online, searched through all these articles, watched all the videos from Planterina – and studied them. Looked out for these keywords – Peat Moss, Perlite, soil, aeration, etc.
I then bought this potting soil from Far East Flora, because I thought, it does say “Peat” “for indoor plants”.
Peats All Purpose is a general-purpose organic potting mix. It contains mineral and fertiliser additives. Suitable for indoor and outdoor plants.

LOL. I laugh because, i also bought 25L of it. It was a huge bag!
So when, it arrived, i was like, great, now i have this soil, i just need some perlites, and i’ll get the rest of the stuff later.
I was wrong! I think i managed to kill a couple of plants as this soil wasn’t very airy. It needed much more mix of substrates to make it airy and it gave me a couple of Root Rots 🙁
My point is, if you’re a newbie in this plant thing, don’t be a hero and buy your own soil, just get these potting mixes from these awesome people below to start your plant parenting.
