What types of soil do you guys use for your indoor plants?

By ForwardPlant Team
For most indoor plants, a well-draining potting mix is ideal. This typically comprises peat moss or coco coir for moisture retention, perlite or vermiculite for aeration and drainage, and sometimes compost for nutrients. Succulents and cacti prefer a grittier mix with more sand, while aroids thrive in chunkier blends with orchid bark.
