Information

Our 'Houseplant' Compost is brilliant for repotting leafy or tropical houseplants that require moist soil to thrive. It has the perfect blend of fine-grade compost, oxygenating perlite and grit to keep drainage to its optimum.

Our hand-crafted compost comes in a resealable bag, meaning that you can always use it later if you have too much. It'll also stay fresh for at least twelve months once opened, so never worry about it going off shortly after purchase. We formulate the soil ourselves and keep it in quarantine for 14 days to ensure there are no soil-borne pests like Fungus Gnats.

Choosing the Right Sized Pot

People often get confused with choosing the next suitable pot for their plant. As a general rule of thumb, houseplants like to be transplanted into the next sized pot that measures a few centimetres wider than the original. 

To correctly select the next sized pot for your plant, simply measure the original pot's diameter at the top. The table below shows more about which size to choose next, base on your current pot's diameter.  

Hand-Crafted Compost

For the last five years, we have been formulating composts for our houseplants, balancing the critical ingredients for different groups (Bonsai, Bulbs, Cacti, Tropicals, etc.), with varying ratios of compost, perlite, grit & sand. We believe that a well-structured soil is critical for maximising both the root and foliar growth performance. We source the compost from well-respected companies in Southern England, which has tight restrictions over quality control & peat-free regulations.

Your compost will come in a resealable bag, so don't worry about having extras! The soil will stay fresh for at least twelve months when stored in a cool place with the bag's top securely fastened.

Baby Bio 175ml

Baby Bio is a concentrate, meaning that this product can make up to 200L. Mix 5 - 10 drops to ½ litre of water (1 pint, a typical water bottle), OR ½ capful to 1 litre (2 pints). The exact amount of drops isn't a priority, but be sure always to keep your plants well-fed to optimise their overall health. (NPK - 10.6 - 4.4 - 1.7).

To find out more about how frequently you should feed your plant, search for the specific-plant article via the Menu's 'Search' function. Generally, houseplants are best fed every four waters in the spring and summer & every six in the colder months for their dormancy.

Plastic Terracotta Pot

We'll only use pots that are top quality, recyclable and promote good drainage in the soil. If you already have a pot to use, simply click 'No' and just receive the compost size selected above!

Plastic Terracotta Saucer

Depending on the pot size chosen above, our matching saucer is also recyclable and of good quality. You can even double this up as a 'Pebble Tray' to increase the humidity levels around your plant. (You won't receive a saucer if you have select 'No'.)

Sticky Fly Catchers (Optional at £4.00) (RRP £5.99)

Our Sticky Fly Catchers are brilliant for when Fungus Gnats strike. Located just above the soil, it aims to catch the adult females before laying their eggs in the compost below. Each sticky-sheet works for over six weeks, with two replaceable sheets included with the price. Non-toxic to pets or humans.

How to Assemble

1. Assembling your Sticky Fly Catcher is simple; simply push the metal rod's serrated edge into the sheet's yellow base to attach the two.
2. Then, insert the rod's base into the soil until the attached sheet is around one inch from the soil line. This will ensure it's securely planted into the soil and won't topple over. Remove both of the white protective layers to finish assembly.
3. Simply replace the sheet once it becomes totally un-stickable, using the steps mentioned above.
