About the Soil.Ninja Base Mix:
An unspecialised mix that can be suitable for the majority of houseplants under correct care. This blend is also a fantastic base to build off of to specialise towards your plants specific needs using different components.
Go from Basic Mix to Dirty Tricks! With 3 core ingredients, we use the same high quality Coco Coir, Worm Castings and Perlite, as our other mixes.
