Devil's Ivy is a highly popular trailing plant within the Houseplant Industry, with over twenty varieties to choose from. Their quick-growing epiphytic roots need a well-structured barky potting mix in order to reach their true potential - something that garden centre potting mixes lack. Here at ukhouseplants, I've hand-crafted the PERFECT soil mix that'll guarantee your Devil's Ivy looking - and growing - better than ever!

Suitable for both mature specimens and fresh cuttings, this balanced blend of coconut coir, Biochar, oxygenating perlite, root-strengthening bark will help promote a better functioning root system and more reliable growth. I regularly use this formulation for my own Devil's Ivies and it ALWAYS does the trick!

Transparency of our products

This product comprises individually-sourced components to create our quality potting mix. Its basal component, coconut coir, is peat-free sourced from a well-established company in southern England that comply with strict production regulations in the U.K.. We then quality check & combine with the suitable ingredients to improve the overall soil structure and replicate the ecological habitats of temperate and tropical climates.

All our products include recyclable packaging/materials, with deliveries made to the local Post Office/Royal Mail Sorting Office or parcel depot via our fully-electric vehicle.

What happens if I have too much soil left over?

All of our composts come in a resealable bag, so never worry about having a little extra left over. Simply enclose the lid and situate it in a dry, dark area away from pets and children. The soil's freshness will last at least twelve months once opened, so it's great for emergency repotting and top-ups.

Is the potting mix available to countries outside of the U.K.?

Unfortunately, our handcrafted composts are only available to those in the U.K., due to E.U. trading laws on plant-based materials. However, if you are in the U.K., expect free delivery and postage within three days of purchase!

Why is compost measured in Litres?

Due to the weight difference when containing water, most soil are measured by the volume. Most companies (like ourselves) will go down the route of Litres, with only a few using other methods like the size of their bags/sacks. We use Litres to help the customer visually imagine the amount that they'll receive!

Will this compost help reduce the risk of root rot?

Any good potting mix will only hold a certain volume of water before dripping the excess through the drainage holes. You're most likely going to cause root rot by watering the plant too often instead of the exact amount of water per drink.

Here's an example, it's far better to water the plant 7L in one go once a week, as supposed to 1L per day for the entire week. The roots won't be able to access the oxygen within the soil, which is critical for reducing the development of root rot. Like bubbles in an ocean, the air will rise when the potting mix is wet, so it's essential to allow the soil to dry slightly between drinks to regain the oxygen.

Our Repotting Kits are designed to maximise both the air circulation and soil structure around your plant's roots, meaning that it'll have the very best conditions for optimal growth. Remember not to water the soil too frequently, and your little friend will very much enjoy his new home!
