fern potting soil
As you may be aware, ferns can be rather dramatic. This fern mix retains moisture effectively thanks to the added coco coir and worm castings, while still allowing for adequate drainage courtesy of the perlite. The inclusion of horticultural sand will enhance the drainage further and create a more uniform texture, which is beneficial for the delicate roots of ferns.

use and application
Using the mix is straightforward! Begin by removing as much of the old soil as you can. Gently squeeze the pot while tilting it to help loosen the plant. Rinse the roots under lukewarm tap water to wash away any remaining bits of soil.
Additionally, be sure to snip off any dead leaves that may still be attached to the plant using scissors. Your plant will now be ready for its new Ficus soil. Start by adding a thin layer of Ficus mix at the bottom of the pot.
Position the plant in the pot and gradually fill the sides with Ficus soil. Ensure that the area where the roots connect to the plant is just below the surface of the Ficus soil.
Gently press the Ficus mix down into the pot. After repotting, it's essential to water the mix thoroughly, as this will help settle both the mix and the roots.
