There are lots of materials you can use to mix soil, but here is a list of common, easy-to-find ingredients that plant parents can combine to create their own soil mixtures. 🪴
: Ground volcanic rock that holds moisture and fluffs up/puts air into your mix. This allows more water to pass through when you're watering that plant. You can also use vermiculite, which is a ground mineral product, but I'm a perlite girl, personally!: Like perlite, ground charcoal creates an airier medium. It also improves the quality of your soil by allowing air to flow through and creating pores that help hold nutrients for your plants.
I also find some roots love attaching themselves to the chunks of bark, making the roots stronger and happier.: Ground coconut husks are similar to peat moss and provide a great texture to the soil, as well as retain moisture. Coco coir tends to expand when watered, so be aware that when you're using it in a pot, you want to leave some room at the top of the pot for that expansion.: Bits of sphagnum moss are excellent at holding moisture once it is rehydrated.
