Use Bio Leaf Variegated Leaf Potting Mix to grow thriving variegated type plants, particularly Aroid, Hoya, and other tropical house plants. It's also a great general potting mix for bonsai trees or succulents, but can be used successfully with almost any indoor plant.
Using the right potting mix for your indoor plants brings so many benefits; optimal root growth & health, better foliage development, and improved nutrient uptake are just a few examples. Plus you'll find reduced transplant shock when repotting.
This Variegated Leaf mix is best for variegated type plants as it holds less water. The open mix allows for good air circulation throughout the pot, making it great for plants with thicker roots. The nugget sizes are approx. 8-20mm in size. This mix is also available in a Fine Grade for seedlings, plants with fine roots or newly rooted plants, or in a Medium Grade for more established plants.
This premium blend is comprised of orchid bark, tree fern fibre, pumice, and powdered hardwood charcoal, a custom blend of 'bio-active' nutrients that are known to assist plants in overcoming transplant shock, encouraging growth and a proprietary blend of microbial inoculants to support root health and assist with nutrient absorption. This free-draining mix holds enough water to keep the mix moist without becoming waterlogged. It also allows for plenty of air to circulate through the potting mix.
The mix is inoculated with a proprietary blend of fungi, bacteria and yeasts to boost nutrient availability and general root health. This means you may notice fungal threads or mushrooms sprouting up from time to time; this is actually a good sign and indicates healthy soil!
Watering Frequency: A good rule of thumb is to let the top 3cm of the potting mixture dry out before watering.
