Universal Substrate Set
Universal soil, perlite, pine bark and lava rock give you separate ingredients for adapting ordinary houseplant soil. The recipe is Foliage Factory guidance and can be adjusted to the plant and pot.
Our starting proportions
Blend 5 parts universal soil, 2 parts perlite, 2 parts pine bark and 1 part lava rock by volume.
When to change it
Keep more of the soil fraction for fine roots that need steadier moisture. Add structure for stronger roots or a root zone that remains too dense; use specialist mixes where appropriate.
