Potting Soils
A "Potting Soil" or "Potting Mix" is the medium you should use when growing plants in any kind of a container, inside or outside the house. Trying to grow plants in dirt in a container is an invitation to disaster.

Choosing A Potting Mix
Potting mixes, or soil mixes as they are sometimes called, will fall into a fairly broad price range depending on the size of the bag and the quality of the mix. The cheaper the product, the more likely you will be buying inferior materials for your houseplant or container plant.

Mixes for Houseplants

Just as the plants you place in the garden require different conditions, including soil, potted plants are more apt to thrive if given their optimum growing environment. The following recipes were found at The-Artistic-Garden.com For these recipes, it is preferable that the potting soil contains perlite or vermiculite.

Soil Moist Polymers
Soil Moist water absorbing polymer stores over 100 times its weight in tap water releasing a steady supply of water as your plants need it. Soil Moist has been developed to reduce the amount of water needed to maintain vigorous plants inside and outside of the home.
