All about Ficus Potting Soil Mix

How do you use the Ficus mix?

Using Ficus potting soil is crucial for a healthy plant. Thoroughly remove old soil and make sure the roots are clean. Place a layer of Ficus mix in the pot, add the plant and fill up with more mix. After repotting, give the plant enough water to let it settle. More information about repotting can be found here.

How does the Ficus mix work?

Ficus are known for their large, thick roots that need sufficient space to grow well. Our mix with extra coconut husk and perlite ensures optimal aeration and sufficient space for the roots. The addition of active carbon protects the roots against fungi and root rot, while extra sand improves permeability. All this together makes this mix the ideal choice for your Ficus!

The Ficus family consists of a wide variety of species, including shrubs, climbers and trees, which mainly originate from the tropical regions of East Asia. Also known as fig plants, the Ficus thrives best in a well-drained substrate and a humid environment.
