About the Calathea & Maranta Soil Mix:
This is a highly aerated, highly moisture-retaining mixture. The blend has gigantic quantities of small air pockets to suit the fine roots of Calathea and Maranta. The extra aeration also aids in allowing new shoots to emerge from the soil as well as creating an extra safety net against root rot. The moisture retaining elements such as Vermiculite, Lava Rock and Coco Coir mean there is less risk of accidentally under watering and causing these dramatic plants to droop or become crispy.

What Calathea and Maranta want from their soil:
Ultimately these plants need moisture. Coming from the rainforest floor, there is no such thing as a dry spell for these plants. However it is also very easy to overwater these plants, especially as they react to so many different environmental factors causing the owner to think water is the problem. To prevent this risk we made the mix extra airy, which also benefits the plants growth patten and root structures.

As with all of our Premium mixes a population of positive bacteria, mycelium and microfauna is present in the substrate to create the potted ecosystem which keeps your plant healthy! Enough nutrients for the first 2 months of growth is also in every bag.

Please Note:
-We mix and make everything to order, so appearance may vary depending on batch.
-30L mixes are packaged and sent in large white sacks.

Get a different scent!
Size: 2.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The smell is terrible. I bought the coconut & vanilla first, and that one is great. Smells good and lasts long. Thought I'd try a different scent, so I bought the raspberry & rose... it smelled rotten!! Not sure if I got a bad batch, but it was truly horrific. Threw it out immediately. I even put it on the back of my hand to test if the dry down is better; the rotten smell was still there.

Hydration and Firming in One Amazing Cream
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Since I started using this Dove Pro-Retinol + Firming cream, I honestly noticed a difference in my skin. I love that it’s not heavy or greasy—it absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling super soft from the very first application. One thing that really surprised me is how well it keeps my skin hydrated for a long time, especially in areas where I usually feel dryness. With consistent use, my skin feels firmer and looks healthier and more cared for. I also like that it doesn’t irritate my skin (which is very important to me), and the scent is light and pleasant—not overpowering at all. This is definitely a product I would buy again, especially if you’re looking for deep hydration with an added firming benefit without spending too much.

Great moisturizer
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is the most pleasant and effective moisturizer I’ve tried. It’s very smooth and creamy, and it soaks in quickly. Ends dry, itchy skin on my legs damaged by daily golfing in shorts.
