What is the best potting soil mix I can buy for my house plants? I’m new to houseplants and I have 2 plants that isn’t doing good cause I think I put the wrong potting soil in the pots. So I use garden magic potting soil I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. Please any recommendations are appreciated. Thank you all.

What kind of plants are they? That will help with figuring out what soil you need.

Spider and heart leaf.

#### Indigo님이 2025-03-24에 답변했습니다.

Not too sure about the heart leaf, but the spider plant may just be too crowded. Mine seem happiest with 3 plants/babies in one pot, maybe separate that guy a bit but for soil I like potting mix with a little Pete moss. Hope that helps!

And both of them isn’t doing good at all

Hi Sherry~do your pots have drainage holes?

#### Sherry님이 2025-03-24에 답변했습니다.

Yes I even added more holes.

### Sherry님이 2025-03-24에 댓글을 남겼어요.

This is what I used when I repotted them.

Idk. I think they look good.

#### Sherry님이 2025-03-24에 답변했습니다.

Really? I sure hope so. Ugh! Maybe I just need to leave them alone. I hate being a beginner with plants but I love them I just hate that I don’t know what I’m doing lol

#### NamasteWithMyPlants님이 2025-03-25에 답변했습니다.

I hear ya. I’ve killed many plants in my past b/c I always felt like I should be doing something. Main thing I’ve learned so far with plants/gardening is PATIENCE… it’s soo hard🤦🏻‍♀️

### Pups ‘n Plants님이 2025-03-24에 댓글을 남겼어요.

I think your potting mix should be just fine. Do your plants have lots of indirect bright light?

#### Sherry님이 2025-03-24에 답변했습니다.

Yes I don’t have many windows in my house so i take turns with the plants I’m going to bye a plant stand today and a growing lamp so hopefully that will help

### Pups ‘n Plants님이 2025-03-24에 댓글을 남겼어요.

Yes, a grow light will help!Your heart leaf may need a larger pot, too. When I can’t find answers, to foliage questions, I show pictures to our garden center professionals. That has always seemed helpful! Is your heart leaf dry, or wet, to the touch?

#### Sherry님이 2025-03-24에 답변했습니다.

It’s wet

### Pups ‘n Plants님이 2025-03-24에 댓글을 남겼어요.

Depending on your watering schedule, it may be overwatered. Or maybe you recently watered it. Either way, try letting it dry out between waterings. Water only when the top soil is very dry to the touch. That, and a larger pot 🤞🏻

#### Sherry님이 2025-03-24에 답변했습니다.

I will definitely do that. Thank you for all the advice and suggestions I sure appreciate it.

Good luck!
