What Makes It Look Different
Rosy Soil appears darker than most potting mixes — that's the biochar doing its job. That unique texture is what creates airflow around roots that most soils can't match. Your plant will settle in fast.
How To Use
Pro-Tips
Biochar tends to settle, just shake bag before use.
When your first use Rosy, you might notice it stains your hands black. It washes right off! If you notice the water in your plant saucer looks dark, it's just the biochar and it's a good thing!
Because of the beneficial fungi in our mixes, Rosy Soil occasionally sprouts a few mushrooms. There's nothing wrong with your soil, quite the opposite!
