🌳 Premium Soilless Ficus Mix – Engineered for Diversity, Stability, and Longevity

Unlock the full potential of your Ficus collection with our Premium Soilless Ficus Mix, a scientifically balanced substrate designed for the diverse needs of this remarkable genus—from semi-epiphytic climbers to robust terrestrial trees. Handcrafted with professional-grade ingredients, this mix delivers unmatched drainage, long-term stability, and consistent moisture control to keep your Ficus healthy, strong, and thriving for years.

🌱 Designed for Every Type of Ficus

Whether you’re growing Fiddle-Leaf Figs (Ficus lyrata), Rubber Plants (Ficus elastica), Creeping Figs (Ficus pumila), or Weeping Figs (Ficus benjamina), this blend provides the perfect environment for steady growth and strong root development. It’s soilless, peat-free, and built for long-term structural integrity, ensuring your mix never compacts or suffocates roots over time.

🧪 Key Ingredients & Benefits

Our Premium Soilless Ficus Mix features a carefully engineered combination of coarse and fine aggregates to promote ideal drainage and aeration while maintaining balanced moisture:

Fir Bark (Fine Grade) – Provides structure, natural aeration, and microbial support

Coco Coir (Buffered) – Holds consistent moisture while remaining fluffy and breathable

Pumice (38” + 316”) – Lightweight volcanic rock that prevents compaction and improves drainage

Perlite (#3 + Fine) – Increases porosity and air flow for oxygen-rich root zones

Coco Chips – Adds chunk and durability, mimicking natural forest substrates

Biochar – Boosts microbial activity, soil health, and long-term structure

Worm Castings – Supplies slow-release organic nutrients for strong, healthy growth

Horticultural Sand – Improves drainage and ensures even moisture distribution

Zeolite – Acts as a nutrient buffer, storing and slowly releasing essential elements

🌤 Structural Balance & Performance

This mix combines chunky materials like Pumice, Coco Chips, and #3 Perlite with finer elements such as Sand, Fine Perlite, and Coco Coir—creating a versatile substrate that adapts to the entire spectrum of Ficus species.

Loose & Well-Draining: Horticultural Sand and Pumice prevent compaction and waterlogging.

Moisture-Retentive Core: Coco Coir and Fir Bark maintain steady hydration between waterings.

Long-Lasting Structure: Durable aggregates resist breakdown, keeping the mix airy for years.

🌿 What Ficus Want from Their Soil

Indoor Ficus species evolved in environments where roots grow through leaf litter, bark, and rocky soil—materials that stay moist but never soggy. This mix replicates those conditions perfectly. Fir Bark supports semi-epiphytic species like F. benjamina and F. pumila, while the coarse structure stabilizes larger terrestrial species like F. elastica and F. lyrata, preventing leaning or shifting as they grow taller.

🌾 Living Ecosystem & Sustained Nutrition

Each bag contains a living microbial community that enhances nutrient cycling, root health, and resilience.

Biochar fosters beneficial microorganisms and retains nutrients.

Worm Castings add gentle organic nutrition.

Zeolite acts as a natural nutrient reservoir, ensuring steady feeding for up to 2 months and preventing lockout or burn.

This self-regulating ecosystem keeps your Ficus thriving with minimal maintenance, promoting lush, consistent growth in every season.
