Habitat Blend Instructions: Bog Witch, Rainforest, Original, TURBO, and Volcanic Priestess

If you’d like to add some Oh Happy Plants magic to your own coir-based potting soil, our Habitat Complete Blends are designed just for you!  We have four blends designed for different applications.

Application is simple! For existing plants, sprinkle on the soil surface, work in to the top inch of soil (if the roots aren’t in the way), and water in. For new potting soil, just measure and mix in.

Another option is to water the plant thoroughly, then pop it out of the pot and sprinkle the Habitat Blend onto the root ball directly and put it back in the pot. This puts the ingredients right where the plant wants them :)

TURBO Habitat Blend

TURBO Habitat Blend is designed for fast-growing plants.  Contains more than 15 fabulous ingredients including insect poo, seed meals, plant meals, mycorrhizal inoculant, rock dusts, and more!

For new soil mixes, use 1/2 cup per gallon of soil. For top-dressing, use the amounts in the table below. Simply mix into the soil surface and water in. Will not burn plants. Best if re-applied every 3 months.

Please note: the mycorrhizal inoculant will cause ‘fluff’ to grow on the surface of the soil. This is a beneficial fungi and great for your plants!

Habitat Blends (Bog Witch, Rainforest, and Original)

When mixing your own soil, use 1/4 cup per gallon of soil. Can be used in addition to other products – will not burn plants! For top dressing, simply sprinkle on soil surface and mix in, then water. Best if used every 3-4 months. Top dressing rates:

This is a beneficial fungi and great for your plants!

Volcanic Priestess Habitat Blend

Volcanic Priestess is designed to be used mixed into a standard potting soil. Most potting soils don’t have necessary rock dusts because they’re only designed to be used for one season (for outdoor annuals in pots). This blend will take your standard potting soil up a notch, adding in what’s missing.

NOTE: You don’t need to add these to OHP soils or use them with our other Habitat Blends – those products already contain all of these ingredients!

2 TB per 6″ pot
3-4 TB per 8″ pot
6-8 TB per 10″ pot

-------------------------------------

Important note: peat-based mixes require dolomite lime to make the pH suitable for plants. I also recommend Yucca schidigera extract to improve water absorption. Habitat Blends do not contain either of these ingredients. We recommend using coco products or the other substrates we sell because they are more eco-friendly and sustainable.

Products are not available in all states.
