This is such a useful video, thank you so much. I’ve been baffled by all the different compost advice out there and it’s great to have a simple breakdown of the different mixes we need. Loving the other videos in the series too!

I'm about to repot my houseplants. This is such a helpful video - thank you.

Thank you, that's edifying. Why must the houseplant compost be "peat free"?
Also, I'd love to hear what the soil mixture should be for peace lilies, please.

Hi, may I ask what is houseplant compost? TY

[violettaosagie]

Thank you very much for this insightful and helpful presentation. May I ask you if using clay balls is necessary due to cost and space restrictions? May The Lord Jesus Christ bless you, Amen.

Not that I'm an expert at all, but I always thought perlite was key in a houseplant mix? 😅

1:18 has anyone found fine bark similar to this anywhere? (UK) I have found so many different varieties so I’d be interested to know what you used in this video!
