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.
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 š
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.

It says āimpossible to killā, you thought you can spruce up your home with this cute little plant. The nice little shopkeeper said, just water it once every week.
You bring it home and you water it, every week as per told. One week past, itās looking pretty in your bookshelf. Week 2 comes along and you see it wilting!
Well, thatās what happened to me too! I fell in love with foliageās when I started buying some weekly cut flowers. Iād get a cut Monstera leaf and it would last forever in my jar. I love how it made my home look.
A trip to Ikea later, I bought a few āimpossible to killā & āneeds not much sunlightā plants (Snake Plant/Sanseveria & Money Plant/Pothos). Brought it home and it was thriving for a while, till it did not! Leaves started turning brown. It looked so wilted.
Slowly but surely, I started buying more plants at home. This time, I experimented with soil, water, fertilizer and other conditions that make a healthy, happy plant.
It was still a rocky road to owning a thriving urban jungle, but Iāll be here to share all my tips to not be me, and be a plant noob!
