One mistake I made when first starting out with my houseplant collection is using the same potting mix for all indoor plants, no matter their individual needs. Now equipped with more knowledge about each of my plants' growing requirements, I alter potting mix accordingly.
When thinking about creating the best potting soil for houseplants, you need to consider what to include to best serve your specific plant. Monsteras, for example, are tropical indoor plants that naturally grow in rainforests. Adjusting a potting mix to provide them with plenty of drainage and the right balance of nutrients is key to enabling them to thrive in your home.
