Perfect for your climbing tropicals, this grippy blend holds enough moisture while giving roots great drainage and texture to grip on to.

Prayer plants have a reputation for being drama queens, but we decided to fix that. This blend has special moisture-retentive properties, so it holds extra water but keeps it away from the roots until your plant needs it. The special properties of this soil will actively increase the humidity in the air as moisture evaporates, too! Also contains a special blend of 'tasties' with extra neem seed meal.

Environment match: picky fusspots that never want to dry out OR drown.

• Prayer plants (Maranta, Calathea, Ctenanthe, Stromanthe)

This blend is for your grassland and subtropical forest plants.
