the perfect choice for a wide variety of succulents and other hardy, dry-weather plants.

Sol Soils Potting Mixes

Succulent Gritty Mix is ideal for a wide variety of succulents and other dry-weather plants. It contains more organic matter and retains more moisture/nutrients than our cactus soil.

Calcined Clay maintains consistent moisture in the adjacent soil to keep it from getting soggy or bone dry.

Perlite improves drainage and aeration by creating air pockets, which prevents soil compaction and root rot. It also helps to moderate soil moisture, retaining enough water for roots while allowing excess to drain, and its sterile, lightweight, and neutral pH properties make it a safe and easy-to-use soil amendment for various plants.

Pumice are volcanic rocks with porous composition which allows it to retain moisture and facilitate the intake of moisture and nutrients by plants.

Granite improves drainage and aeration, making it beneficial for plants, especially those that prefer well-drained conditions.

LECA Balls also known as Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate, supports water availability between watering by retaining moisture while also providing excellent drainage of excess water.

Forest Products enriches the soil with organic matter, improving soil structure, water retention, and overall fertility.

Coconut Husks helps to promote the growth of lignins, which increases the amount of beneficial bacteria around your plant's root system.

Coconut Coir is a sustainable alternative to peat moss, eco-friendly, and has a nearly neutral pH, making it easier for plants to absorb added nutrients. Coir also promotes strong root growth, is resistant to fungal diseases, and decomposes slowly, providing long-lasting benefits to soil structure and plant health.

This mix utilizes recycled coconut chips and coir, an otherwise wasted byproduct of the coconut industry. Of the 50 million coconuts produced around the world each year, about 85% of the husks are discarded as trash. As a soil component, the ground husks offer excellent aeration and water retention.

Our Potting Mixes are engineered to be more forgiving of a wide range of plant care styles--whether you're a beginner or have cultivated houseplant collection. Our lineup of potting substrates allow a more consistent flow of oxygen to the root system, leading to less stress and more growth over time. Regardless of the type of plant you have, we have a mix designed for their natural preferences.

Normal potting mix requires repotting every 12-18 months. Our Sol Soils Potting Mixes don’t break down or get hydrophobic in the same manner, and allow for 24-36 months before needing a refresh. However, if you notice growth not starting again for a growing season, it may indicate the roots have grown a lot and it wants a larger pot because it’s root-bound! A sign of healthy growth!

We still hand mix, fill, and seal every bag in small batches. While we feel this is the best method to make sure the quality stays as high as possible, it does mean there's variation in every bag. Some bags are chunkier and some are finer within every batch. Rest assured, they'll perform as expected even with this variation!
