The Gritty Mix

from $5.00

🪴 Perfect for:

  • Aroids, orchids, succulents, bonsai, and semi-hydroponic setups

  • DIY growers who want full control over fertilization

  • Anyone seeking a durable, fast-draining, soil-free blend

🔍 Why It Works

🌲 Orchiata Bark (40%)
Premium aged New Zealand bark that resists breakdown. Provides structure, breathability, and just the right touch of moisture retention.

🪨 Pumice (40%)
Lightweight volcanic rock that boosts drainage and aeration while offering a slight moisture buffer—perfect for preventing compaction and root rot.

🔥 Charged Biochar (20%)
Not just biochar—charged biochar. This is where the mix comes alive.

✅ The Charged Biochar Advantage

🧬 Microbial Magnet
Pre-charged biochar acts like a microbial hotel, creating a living, biologically active environment for your plant roots.

💧 Moisture + Nutrient Buffer
Biochar absorbs and slowly releases moisture and nutrients, improving consistency without compromising drainage.

🌱 Root Stress Reducer
Helps buffer pH, reduces transplant shock, and encourages dense, healthy root systems—especially in sensitive or high-value plants.

🌍 Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
Carbon-negative, sustainably sourced, and charged with compost teas or fertilizers—this is high-performance plant care with a conscience.

⚡ What Makes It Special

  • 100% soil-free and peat-free

  • Ultra fast-draining, airy, and long-lasting

  • Pre-charged biochar for a microbial head-start

  • No pre-mixed fertilizer: you're in control

  • Ready for semi-hydro, bonsai, or custom applications

💡 How to Use

Use as-is for epiphytes, succulents, bonsai, or any plant that hates wet feet. Want more moisture retention? Blend with coco chips, akadama, or sphagnum moss to fine-tune hydration.
