I’ve been tinkering with mixes for a few years now, and here’s something that might work if your plants currently treat generic soil like it’s a bland cafeteria meal. I usually go for roughly 50% coco coir (for that lovely water retention without a soggy mess), 30% perlite (because plants apparently love a bit of “air time”), and 20% vermiculite (for good measure—think of it as the secret ingredient in grandma’s famous recipe). Throw in a bit of organic compost or worm castings if you’re feeling fancy, and your plants might just start writing thank-you notes. It’s been a game-changer for my ficus and succulents, though a cautionary tale: overwatering is like giving dessert twice—too much of a good thing. Happy mixing and may your green friends flourish!
