Description
Simply Houseplant has been designed from the ground up as a high-quality, all-purpose repotting mix designed to give excellent results with a wide range of indoor houseplants.
We spent the last few months working on the composition in partnership with our friends at Ecothrive, who shared their expert knowledge on growing media compositions. We had the goal of producing the ultimate affordable growing media for houseplants. After many rounds of alterations, growing tests and lab soil analysis in the USA, Simply Houseplant was born.
Produced with a uniquely formulated base of Coco Coir, Growfibre, Bark and Perlite, Simply Houseplant also comes amended with a specially formulated nutritional profile designed to give your houseplants a nutritional boost from the start. The nutritional profile of Simply Houseplant has been designed with tropical houseplants in mind, to make available all the key nutrients (N,P,K) and also micronutrients (Ca, S, Mg, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Zn) needed for the strong growth of indoor foliage plants, at the right proportions, for the first 6-8 weeks once repotted.
Unlike our popular Jungle Mix formulation, Simply Houseplant is designed for use in normal household conditions with ambient humidity. Over the last few months. testing has shown excellent results with a huge range of plants from Monstera ‘Thai Constellation’, all the way to a Ficus, Begonia and a Pelargonium.
Please note, our 50L soil option is packaged in a box with a plastic lining.

Verified reviews
Rated by real customers
A tropical houseplant potting mix that customers say is "perfect for those plants that don't need specific mix." The blend contains coir, perlite, and bark for drainage. Shoppers report "all my plants in this mix are thriving" with excellent quality and value. One customer noted packaging issues with a ripped bag and poor box quality, though most praised secure packaging.
- Has everything you need. All my plants in this mix are thriving
- My monstera is thriving tripled its size with this mix
- Better than plain coir + perlite because it also has some small grade bark

Convenient scientifically formulated substrate mix that the plants seem to love.

Amazing experience. From the packing and the quality to the delivery. I ordered a pot and dechlorinator drops in a glass bottle and it was packed so securely. In addition the soils I ordered look really good and do their jobs. Hopefully my Calathea will thrive in its new home

Great size for the price, my alocasia seems to love it! Will be using this for my philodendrons too but they’ve not quite outgrown their pots just yet so won’t be repotting them soon.

Compost is excellent. No sign or any beasties which a number of other house plant composts have. Have repotted several different varieties of plants in it and they are all thriving.
Would really recommend and when I run out I will be reordering! Prompt service too.
