Awesome Sustainable Soil Medium!

I don’t know a ton about different brands of choir, what’s good or what’s not good. However, this has been the best investment I ever made for my indoor plants. I was a new plant parent last year, and I struggled for months using premade soil mixes that were always contaminated and came with fungus issues (even mushrooms!) and fungus gnat infestations. So I decided to start making my own plant soil (bought this and other ingredients needed for the job).It’s been a couple of months and it’s made such a huge difference! I no longer have to worry about whether the soil I use is awakening a ton of unwelcome critters. And I keep my mixed soil in a plastic zip bag and it doesn’t develop fungus like every single store bought soil mix I’ve ever bought! Even when the choir is moist going into the bag, it stays fresh!So if you’re like me and looking to start making your own plant soil mix, and do so sustainably, you can’t go wrong this this. The brick is huge. I’ve only made a small dent in it, but have managed to repot so many plants (given, none of my plants are in large pots, but this is still a great value for your money).The ONLY downside about this choir brick is that it’s REALLY difficult to break up. I only break off chunks as needed to make a new batch of soil and this thing is rock solid. But it’s also SUPER compact, so a little goes a long way since it expands significantly when you add water. But it did take a good 5 or 10 minutes of vigorous stabbing with a sharp tool to loosen it up.That said, I think this will last me a long time. And it’s so nice to not have to worry about the unused dry brick going bad or getting contaminated. Totally worth it!

Pros
  • It promotes healthy root growth, which can lead to larger and more productive plants
Cons
  • May not last as long as other substrate options
