Potting soil and mixes comprise a mixture of materials, such as bark, sphagnum moss, perlite, vermiculite, and compost, used to grow plants in containers. They are a soilless blend of ingredients that prevent fungus and other plant pathogens from infecting potted plants. They are light weight and fluffy and provide aeration, improve drainage, and retain moisture. They are highly affordable as potting soil and mixes are made from natural materials compared to gardening soil. They are produced to reduce the compaction of soil, which can impede the flow of water and nutrients. As they assist in improving soil structure and promoting the growth of plants, potting soil and mixes find applications in residential and commercial sectors across the globe.
