Base Mix – everyday soil base for custom blends

Base Mix is the soil base used for building custom potting blends. It provides the fine fraction that holds moisture and nutrients, while leaving you free to add bark or mineral structure depending on the plant.

It is most useful if you need control over texture instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all potting soil.

Using it day to day

• Use it as the starting point, then add structure materials until the mix matches the root type and pot size.
• Mix evenly through the full pot volume so the texture stays consistent from top to bottom.
• If your room is cool or low-light, keep the blend more open and avoid large pots.

Product notes

Base Mix works well for general indoor plants, and also as a base for aroid, Hoya and fern blends when paired with the right structure materials.

How it fits into your setup

This mix is built around structure first. Use it as a complete potting mix, or blend it into a base soil to adjust airflow and drying speed.

Watering should match the pot size and root mass. Check moisture at depth and adjust your routine after the first few cycles.

Practical note

• Moisten dry components before potting so the mix settles evenly.
• Choose pot size for the root ball, not for the top growth.
• Top-dress with the same mix to reduce surface compaction.
