Whats Inside and why?
Compost: Adds a wealth of organic matter and nutrients, enhancing microbial activity and improving soil structure for long-term plant health.
Leaf Mold: Improves moisture retention and creates a rich, fertile environment by increasing the humus content in the soil.
Coco Coir: Provides excellent water retention without waterlogging, helping roots access moisture consistently in tropical conditions.
Fine Bark: Improves soil aeration, preventing compaction while retaining a balance of moisture for healthy root development.
Worm Castings: Boost nutrient content, enhancing soil fertility and promoting healthy plant growth.
Biochar: Retains essential nutrients and enhances microbial activity, creating a sustainable, nutrient-rich environment for tropical species.
Rock Phosphate: Promotes healthy root systems and enhances flower and fruit production through slow-release phosphorus.
Dolomite Lime: Ensures a balanced soil pH, preventing nutrient lockout and improving calcium and magnesium availability
Tropical Trees:
Species like mango, papaya, banana, and guava thrive in environments with rich organic matter and consistent moisture. The combination of compost and leaf mold in TropicSoil™ ensures that these trees receive the nutrients they need for robust growth, while coco coir provides moisture retention without waterlogging the roots. The biochar in the mix helps to lock in nutrients, promoting long-term soil fertility, while rock phosphate encourages healthy root development, perfect for supporting fruit production in tropical climates.
Moisture-Loving Houseplants:
Houseplants like peace lilies, calatheas, and spider plants thrive in consistently moist environments. TropicSoil™ blend of leaf mold and coco coir keeps the soil evenly moist, supporting these plants' hydration needs without the risk of root rot. Fine bark helps maintain soil aeration, ensuring that roots have access to oxygen while worm castings provide a slow-release nutrient source, keeping the plants lush and vibrant over time.
Foliage Plants:
Lush foliage plants such as ferns, monsteras, and philodendrons flourish in nutrient-dense, moisture-retentive environments. Compost, coco coir, and worm castings provide the perfect combination of moisture and slow-release nutrients, supporting vigorous leaf growth. Biochar enhances the retention of essential nutrients, while the fine bark keeps the soil light and aerated, ensuring that these plants have the best conditions for long-term health.
Tropical Flowering Plants:
Tropical flowers like hibiscus, bougainvillea, and orchids require rich, well-draining soil that can retain moisture while still providing access to nutrients. TropicSoil™ blend of leaf mold, coco coir, and worm castings ensures that the plants stay hydrated, while rock phosphate promotes strong root systems and vibrant flower production. Biochar further boosts nutrient retention, helping these flowering plants stay healthy and bloom for extended periods.
Fast-Growing Herbs:
Herbs like basil, mint, and cilantro grow rapidly in nutrient-rich soils with consistent moisture levels. TropicSoil’s compost and worm castings provide a steady supply of nutrients, supporting fast growth, while coco coir and leaf mold retain just enough moisture to prevent the herbs from drying out. The fine bark ensures good aeration, which is crucial for the healthy development of herbs.
