This is such a useful video, thank you so much. I’ve been baffled by all the different compost advice out there and it’s great to have a simple breakdown of the different mixes we need. Loving the other videos in the series too!

Tony is great! He is so knowledgeable and presents information so well. Thank you from across the pond!

Thank you, that's edifying. Why must the houseplant compost be "peat free"? Also, I'd love to hear what the soil mixture should be for peace lilies, please.

@delennburkitt3 Год назад

Digging up peat releases large amounts of C02 into the atmosphere - climate change factor! So it's an environmental choice not necessarily plant specific :)

Hi, may I ask what is houseplant compost? TY

@violettaosagie9471 8 месяцев назад

Thank you very much for this insightful and helpful presentation. May I ask you if using clay balls is necessary due to cost and space restrictions? May The Lord Jesus Christ bless you, Amen.

Not that I'm an expert at all, but I always thought perlite was key in a houseplant mix? 😅

@iDash68 Год назад

I thought the same but I suppose its because he's using other chunky materials that provide that same drainage and aeration factor, i.e. horticultural grit, bark and even sand although its less coarse? I feel like the only difference with perlite is that its slightly more porous so is able to hold onto a tiny bit more water than grit can? I wonder if maybe just doesn't like perlite for the way that it rises to the top of the soil with each watering or because of the dust? Either way it's making me seriously consider getting me some grit after looking into it more!

1:18 has anyone found fine bark similar to this anywhere? (UK) I have found so many different varieties so I’d be interested to know what you used in this video!
