Compost
Helps reduce waste in landfills by turning green waste and wood waste into a useful source of nutrients for plants.
Diatomaceous Earth
A fine mineral powder made from fossilized algae that helps protect plants from soil-dwelling gnats and other pests

"My office manager and I each have large fiddle-leaf figs in our conference room. They’re in the same window and get watered at the same time. I repotted mine with Rosy a couple months ago and it’s grown 4 new leaves. His has had no new growth. I feel kinda guilty"

"It’s worth the money my plants are thriving ! no gnats [tiny flying bugs] I usually find.
It’s simply the BEST"

"Rosy Soil has completely transformed my houseplant game! Since switching, my plants have shown incredible growth and vitality I've never achieved with other potting soils. Even my struggling plants have bounced back to life. My plants establish quickly and show immediate signs of thriving rather than transplant shock."

"I gotta say I was skeptical at first. After a week I decided to check the roots — because there were NONE on this plant when I put it in. I WAS SHOCKED. It had grown gorgeous white, fuzzy roots in a week. I will not put my monsteras and scindapsus in any other substrate from now on."
Tina
"For a while I was dealing with root rot. I switched to something more well-draining, but that ended up getting too dry too quickly — crispy leaves. Rosy Soil has been a lifesaver. I haven't experienced any root rot since switching, and my plant roots are thriving. I'm even seeing more corms and babies in my plants."
Sheila
"I transplanted a Peace Lily and a Philodendron with Rosy Soil — tutorials said Peace Lilies can droop for days or weeks after transplanting. That didn't happen at all. My Peace Lily was perky and upright just hours after transplanting. I'm so pleased with Rosy Soil!"
Most potting soils work against your plants — dense, soggy, and a welcome mat for gnats. Rosy's biochar-powered formula keeps soil airy, moisture balanced, and gnat-resistant. Dirt that actually does its job.

POTTING OR REPOTTING
Make sure you use a planter with drainage holes. This is your best defense against drowning your plants! Partially fill the planter with a base of Rosy Soil.
PLANTING
Gently release your plant from its current container, carefully loosening its roots and centering it in the pot. Now fill the remaining space with more soil, leaving about an inch at the top for easy watering.
WATERING
Keep watering slowly until you see water draining from the bottom of the planter. Your next watering should be when the top inch of soil feels dry and pot feels noticeably lighter. Always aim for a gentle, deep drink rather than frequent shorter waterings that result in thirsty plants.
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!
Peat moss has been a common ingredient in commercial potting mixes since the 1960s. However, it's obtained by extracting peat bogs, which are vital ecosystems that store carbon. At Rosy, we believe there's a better way. So, we've developed our blends with alternatives that are effective and sustainable.
How is Rosy different from other soils?
Rosy’s indoor potting soil is all-natural, peat free, and made from biochar.
We’ve consciously sourced our ingredients not only because they’re great for your plants but also because they’re good for our planet (https://rosysoil.com/blogs/news/biochar-benefits).
Unlike traditional potting soil ingredients that are environmentally taxing, our biochar potting mix only contains natural and carbon-negative amendments.
Read additional information about Our Mission (https://rosysoil.com/pages/our-mission).
We use carbon-negative, organic ingredients to create the best indoor plant potting mix.
Typically, these organic materials are sent to a landfill, where they release methane and CO2 — two potent greenhouse gases. But by redirecting these organic materials from landfills and stabilizing their carbon structure, we prevent the release of those greenhouse gases.
Essentially, we turn our house plant soil into a carbon sink, which means it helps to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
Discover more about what we mean by Earth Positive on Our Mission (https://rosysoil.com/pages/our-mission) page.
Biochar is nature’s soil supercharger — a form of carbon that’s created by heating organic material (like wood or plant matter) in a low-oxygen environment.
Think of it as a sponge-like charcoal made for plants. It improves soil structure, helps retain water and nutrients, and creates a thriving home for beneficial microbes. It’s also incredibly stable, meaning it stays in the soil for hundreds (even thousands!) of years — all while capturing and storing carbon that would otherwise enter the atmosphere.
Unlike peat moss, which is strip-mined from delicate wetlands, biochar is regenerative and climate-positive. It’s science-backed, time-tested, and foundational to everything we do.
Yes! You can add Rosy to your current houseplant potting soil — whether it’s an inorganic or organic potting soil mix, cactus or orchid mix, or otherwise.
Doing so will help you refresh your old soil (https://rosysoil.com/blogs/news/does-potting-soil-go-bad) and revive its benefits for plant care.
Alternatively, you could directly replace your current houseplant soil mix with Rosy.
Our 8 Quart bag of Rosy indoor potting mix will fill:
4 to 6 medium 6" pots
Our 4 Quart bag of Rosy indoor potting mix will fill:
2 to 3 medium 6" pots
And unlike traditional indoor potting mixes, you won’t need to replace the soil every year due to compaction.
I’ve transplanted all that I could for about 3 weeks now and all of the plants appear very happy. I enjoyed working with it also. I would definitely plant more of my plants in the soil.
Very good aeration and drainage, I tend to over water and because of the excellent drainage me and my plants are on very good terms.
I received my FIRST order on Saturday. The bag was huge! I repotted my neanthe Bella palm and she is adjusting nicely. Then I used the rest to repot a huge sansevieria that I received last month and which was rootbound. This soil was extremely easy to work with and I managed to transfer my sansevieria into a larger pot with no difficulty. I appreciate the time which the team has taken to answer all of my questions regarding this soil. I am highly recommending and will definitely purchase again
This stuff rocks. Good for the earth and a catalyst for adding houseplants to my collection!
I’m really happy with this soil mix. I repotted four plants with this mix 2 months ago and my plants are very happy. My monstera has grown 6 new leaves sine repotting. I did major surgery on my jade and it has put out so many new little leaves. I do pick out little mushrooms often but it doesn’t bother me. Will be purchasing again.
