# Hello! Just curious if anyone would like to share their favorite…

Hello!

Just curious if anyone would like to share their favorite indoor potting soil mixes? I mix my own depending on the type of plant (aroid, succulent, etc) but if you have a brand that you use or soil amendments that you swear by, please drop the recommendations as I am building out a store room that I’ll be sharing with a few people.

Thanks!

I LOVE biochar. I have easy access to it because I have a fire pit, but I swear up and down that if you ever go camping, take some of the char from the pit after your firewood has burnt up

Love biochar as well! I have a bag of it that I add when mixing my soil. Solid choice!

I get cactus and succulent soil. I use back to the roots. I think it’s called something like that and then I add the bigger pieces of pearl light and I use the reptile bark. That’s like orchid bark only for reptiles so it’s in smaller pieces. I use that on all my plants.
