Well-Draining Croton Soil Mix

Vegan Compost

Our plant-based, aged compost is ideal for indoor plants like crotons.

Why?

It’s rich in organic matter and provides the optimum soil structure and drainage for a growing croton houseplant.

It’s packed with essential plant nutrients like nitrogen and potassium. This reduces the need for synthetic fertilizer, which can harm beneficial microbes and soil pH over time.

Carbon-Negative Biochar

Biochar is a light porous substance that locks in nutrients and keeps your soil fertile for longer. 

The best part?

Every ton of biochar produced removes three tons of CO2 from the carbon cycle. So it’s Earth Positive — unlike conventional croton soil additives, like sphagnum peat moss and perlite.  

Root Boosting Mycorrhizae

Mycorrhizae (mahy-kuh-rahy-zee) are plant-friendly fungi that improve water and nutrient access for your croton plant.

And that’s not all.

The fungi also release a gum-like substance (called glomalin) that further locks in moisture and nutrients. This keeps the soil moist and reduces the need for a frequent watering schedule.

Step 1: Pre-Moisten

Pre-moisten your Rosy soil mix before planting your croton houseplant.

How?

Put the soil mix in a container and add water until it releases a few drops when pressed.

Step 2: Pot or repot

Fill up 1/3 of a well-draining pot with the moist croton soil mixture. 

Step 3: Plant

Gently release your croton plant from its current soil without disturbing the root structure. 

Then, center the plant into the container with Rosy croton soil. Fill the remaining space with pre-moistened soil, leaving an inch at the top for easy watering. 

Step 4: Water

For the first watering, water your croton houseplants from the top and let the excess drain out. 

For future watering, we recommend bottom watering (by placing the pot in a tray with water). 

Why?

It’ll allow the soil to absorb water evenly and prevent over or underwatering. 

Occasionally, water the soil from the top to flush excess salt deposits.

Rosy’s entire supply chain has a net negative carbon footprint!

How do we do that?

We maintain an Earth Positive system (from production to delivery) by curating the most sustainable ingredients (like biochar), packaging, and shipping processes.

In fact, every bag of Rosy croton potting soil traps more than 2 kg of CO2 from the carbon cycle!  

This makes our croton potting mix a positive resource for your garden and the environment.
