Discover the art of perfect cultivation with our specific organic soils. Each professional substrate is formulated to meet the unique nutritional needs of orchids, bonsai, succulents, and aromatic plants. Our complete guide will help you choose and use them optimally for extraordinary results.
How to Choose the Right Specific Soil
🌺 Orchid Soil
Orchids require a draining substrate that mimics their natural epiphytic habitat. Our organic orchid soil ensures the perfect balance between drainage and water retention.
🌳 Bonsai Soil
Bonsai require a specific substrate that promotes controlled root development and miniaturization. A formula designed for traditional bonsai art.
🌿 Aromatic Plant Soil
Aromatic plants need an organic soil rich in organic nutrients that enhances their aromatic properties and promotes vigorous growth.
🌵 Succulent Soil
Succulents and cacti require a draining substrate that prevents waterlogging, the main cause of root rot.
Complete Guide to Using Specific Soils
Repotting Preparation
Before using the specific soil, prepare clean pots with drainage holes. Sterilize tools to prevent fungal or bacterial contamination.
Removal of Old Substrate
Gently remove the plant from its previous pot. Remove the old soil from the roots, checking the condition of the root system.
Application of New Soil
Place a layer of specific substrate at the bottom of the pot. Insert the plant and gradually fill, gently compacting.
Post-Repotting Irrigation
After repotting with organic soil, water moderately to help the substrate settle and roots establish.
Optimal Repotting Calendar
🌸 Spring (March-May)
Ideal period for most repottings. Plants are in a vegetative awakening phase and adapt better to the new substrate.
☀️ Summer (June-August)
Discouraged period for repotting, except for emergencies. High temperatures stress plants during adaptation to new soil.
🍂 Autumn (September-November)
Second optimal period for repotting, especially for succulents and orchids. Mild temperatures favor establishment.
❄️ Winter (December-February)
Resting period for vegetation. Avoid repotting except for recovering distressed plants with specific soils.
Common Soil Problems and Solutions
💧 Waterlogging
Symptoms: Yellow leaves, root rot, unpleasant odor from the soil.
Solution: Use specific draining soils, add perlite or pumice, check drainage holes.
🌱 Stunted Growth
Symptoms: Slow growth, small leaves, dull colors, poor flowering.
Solution: Use nutrient-rich organic soils, replace exhausted substrate.
🦠 Fungal Attacks
Symptoms: Spots on leaves, mold on soil, general decline.
Solution: Replace with sterilized soil, improve aeration, reduce watering.
📏 Inadequate pH
Symptoms: Leaf chlorosis, impaired nutrient absorption, abnormal growth.
Solution: Use specific soils with pH calibrated for each plant type.
Frequently Asked Questions about Specific Soils
How often should soil be replaced?
Specific soils should be replaced every 1-2 years for potted plants. Bonsai and orchids require more frequent repotting (every 12-18 months), while succulents can wait 2-3 years.
Can I mix different soils?
We advise against mixing different specific soils. Each substrate is formulated for particular needs. For customizations, add individual components like perlite or bark.
How to store open soils?
Store organic soils in a cool, dry place, in closed containers. Avoid excessive humidity that can cause mold. Use within 12 months of opening.
Are organic soils safe for home use?
All our specific organic soils are certified for home use, free from harmful chemicals. Safe for children and pets if used correctly.
Which soil for indoor plants?
For indoor plants, we recommend specific soils based on the type: orchids (epiphytic substrate), green plants (universal soil), succulents (draining substrate).
