Well-draining, Airy Hoya Soil Mix

Carbon-Negative Biochar

Meet the cornerstone of our soil mix: biochar! 

It’s a lightweight and porous substance that improves soil aeration and drainage. It also enhances nutrient retention, keeping your soil fertile for longer. 

What’s even better?

Each ton of biochar produced traps three tons of CO2 from the carbon cycle! 

This makes our soil mix an Earth Positive potting medium — unlike a conventional hoya mix with unsustainable ingredients like sphagnum moss, coco coir, pumice, or perlite.

Vegan Compost

Your hoya houseplant will love our aged, vegan compost! 

Here’s why:

It adds abundant organic matter, improves soil structure, and optimizes drainage.

Our compost is a natural source of vital plant nutrients, like nitrogen and potassium. This, in turn, reduces the need for chemical fertilizers. 

It creates the right environment for beneficial microbes.

Root Boosting Mycorrhizae

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

They also release a substance called glomalin to lock in moisture and nutrients, helping your hoya plant tide over short periods of water stress.

Step 1: Pre-Moisten

For the best results, pre-moisten your Rosy hoya soil mix before planting your hoya.

How?
Add the soil mix to a container and water it until the soil releases a few drops when squeezed. 

Step 2: Pot or repot

Fill up 1/3 of a well-draining container with the pre-moistened soil mixture. 

Step 3: Plant

Gently release your indoor plant from its current soil while ensuring you don’t disturb the root system. 

Then, center the plant into the container with Rosy hoya soil mix.

Finally, fill the remaining space with more pre-moistened soil, only leaving an inch at the top for easy watering. 

Step 4: Water

For the first watering, water from the top till the excess drains out of the container. 

For future waterings, we suggest bottom watering (place the pot or container in a tray with water). This allows the soil to absorb water evenly.

Occasionally, top water the soil to flush salt deposits.  

When we consider our entire supply chain, the Rosy hoya soil mix has a net negative carbon footprint!

How did we manage 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 soil traps more than 2 kg of CO2 from the carbon cycle!  

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