Back to the Roots 6qt Organic Indoor Potting Mix For Houseplants Specialty Mix: Perlite, Coconut Coir, Mycorrhizae

A: Hi CM26! Yes, our Organic Indoor Potting Mix is a great soil for a braided hibiscus. You can add some orchid bark to the mix. Hibiscus plants prefer a nutrient-rich, moist, but well-draining soil. Coconut coir provides great water retention, while orchid bark introduces essential chunkiness. This combination creates an airy structure that prevents the potting mix from becoming too dense or waterlogged, which protects the hibiscus's root system from rotting.

A: Hi Naybo! Our Organic Indoor Potting Mix is specially formulated to be less prone to fungus gnats. The best way to keep them at bay is to avoid overwatering and allow the top few inches to dry out slightly between watering.

A: Hi Nayo! The best potting mix for orchids will depend on the type of orchids you are growing, the location of your orchids, and how you care for them. For example, if you're in an area with a very dry climate, you should select a mix that retains moisture. Feel free to reach out to contact@backtotheroots.com — we're happy to assist you in choosing the right soil for your orchids.
