DIY Calathea & Maranta Soil Kit | Fast EU shipping | Coco fibre base | Ideal for prayer plants & humidity lovers

Summary: Specially designed to reduce crispy edges and boost lush foliage, this moisture-retentive yet breathable mix mimics tropical forest floors—perfect for Calathea and Maranta in European homes.

🧪 Composition & Ingredients

• Coco Fibre – ~40% (airy, fibrous base that retains moisture while improving structure)
• Perlite Grains – ~25% (adds airflow and prevents compaction)
• Vermiculite – ~25% (boosts water retention and humidity support)
• Activated Charcoal – small handful (keeps substrate fresh and balanced)
• Lava Rock (Pumice) – small handful (improves structure and drainage)

💨 Drainage & Aeration

Balanced airflow prevents compact soil while still holding enough structure for delicate roots. Coco fibre creates a looser, more breathable texture than traditional cocopeat, while perlite and lava rock ensure roots can breathe without drying out too quickly.

💧 Moisture Retention

High moisture retention from coco fibre and vermiculite helps prevent dry, crispy leaf edges—one of the most common issues in German apartments with dry indoor air.

🔄 Use Cases & Compatibility

Perfect for Calathea, Maranta, Ctenanthe, and Stromanthe. Ideal for indoor plants in European homes where humidity fluctuates throughout the year.

📦 Format & Quantity Options

Pre-measured to create approx. 3–5L of substrate. Suitable for 2–3 medium plants or several smaller prayer plants.

♻️ Sustainability & Safety

Peat-free and environmentally friendly. Coco fibre is a renewable resource derived from coconut husks. All ingredients are safe to handle and suitable for homes with pets.

📅 Storage & Shelf Life

Store in a sealed container in a dry place. Best used within 12 months. Lightly rehydrate coco fibre before use if it becomes fully dry.

🛠 How to Use

Mixing Instructions: Use the following ratios by volume (e.g., scoops or cups):

• 1.5 parts Coco Fibre
• 1 part Perlite
• 1 part Vermiculite
• Small handful Activated Charcoal
• Small handful Lava Rock

Mix thoroughly and use in pots with drainage holes. Keep soil lightly moist at all times and avoid letting it fully dry out.
