DIY Calathea & Maranta Soil Kit | Fast EU shipping | Coco fibre base | Ideal for prayer plants & humidity lovers
Summary: Specially designed to reduce crispy edges and boost lush foliage, this moisture-retentive yet breathable mix mimics tropical forest floors—perfect for Calathea and Maranta in European homes.
🧪 Composition & Ingredients
💨 Drainage & Aeration
Balanced airflow prevents compact soil while still holding enough structure for delicate roots. Coco fibre creates a looser, more breathable texture than traditional cocopeat, while perlite and lava rock ensure roots can breathe without drying out too quickly.
💧 Moisture Retention
High moisture retention from coco fibre and vermiculite helps prevent dry, crispy leaf edges—one of the most common issues in German apartments with dry indoor air.
🔄 Use Cases & Compatibility
Perfect for Calathea, Maranta, Ctenanthe, and Stromanthe. Ideal for indoor plants in European homes where humidity fluctuates throughout the year.
📦 Format & Quantity Options
Pre-measured to create approx. 3–5L of substrate. Suitable for 2–3 medium plants or several smaller prayer plants.
♻️ Sustainability & Safety
Peat-free and environmentally friendly. Coco fibre is a renewable resource derived from coconut husks. All ingredients are safe to handle and suitable for homes with pets.
📅 Storage & Shelf Life
Store in a sealed container in a dry place. Best used within 12 months. Lightly rehydrate coco fibre before use if it becomes fully dry.
🛠 How to Use
Mixing Instructions: Use the following ratios by volume (e.g., scoops or cups):
- 1.5 parts Coco Fibre
- 1 part Perlite
- 1 part Vermiculite
- Small handful Activated Charcoal
- Small handful Lava Rock
Mix thoroughly and use in pots with drainage holes. Keep soil lightly moist at all times and avoid letting it fully dry out.
