Everything you need to know Universal Substrate Enriched with Mycorrhizae and Bacillus - Superior Quality
What is the exact composition of this universal substrate?
This substrate combines quality French potting soil, perlite for drainage, organic fertilizer and essential trace elements.
Its distinctive feature lies in the addition of live biostimulants: mycorrhizae that create a symbiosis with the roots and bacillus that enrich the microbial life of the substrate.
Use it directly without adding anything to most of your green plants, pothos, philodendrons or dracaenas.
Avoid mixing it with low-quality potting soils that could unbalance its optimized formulation.
How to use this substrate when repotting?
Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one, with drainage holes. Carefully remove your plant and shake the old potting mix away from the roots.
Mycorrhizae need direct contact with roots to establish their beneficial symbiosis, which is why removing the old substrate promotes their action.
Place a layer of substrate at the bottom, position the plant, and fill in the sides, tamping lightly. Water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets and activate microorganisms.
Never compact the substrate excessively; the roots need oxygen to breathe.
Is this substrate suitable for all houseplants?
This substrate is suitable for approximately 80% of common houseplants: pothos, philodendrons, dracaenas, ficus, scheffleras and many other green plants.
Its balanced structure between water retention and drainage meets the needs of the majority of tropical species grown indoors.
For plants with specific requirements such as calatheas sensitive to limestone or hoyas requiring a very well-draining substrate, choose our specific potting mixes.
Cacti, succulents and orchids require different substrates with a higher mineral proportion.
My plants don't seem to be reacting after repotting, is that normal?
A 2- to 4-week adjustment period after repotting is perfectly normal. Your plants are focusing their energy on root development before producing new leaves.
Mycorrhizae need time to colonize the roots and establish their network. This invisible phase prepares the way for vigorous growth to come.
Maintain regular watering without overwatering and avoid fertilizing for the first 6 weeks, the substrate already contains the necessary nutrients.
Do not repot again out of impatience; repeated stress will further weaken your plant.
What products should I use with this substrate to optimize the health of my plants?
To maximize the benefits of this substrate, combine it with ourLiquid fertilizerafter 6 weeks of repotting, when the initial nutrients begin to be depleted.
The microorganisms in the substrate work in synergy with gentle fertilization, making nutrients more available to your plants.
Afine mist sprayerIt maintains the ambient humidity preferred by tropical plants.cleaning glovesallow the leaves to be dusted regularly.
Avoid concentrated chemical fertilizers that can disrupt the microbial balance of the substrate.
How does this differ from your specific Monstera or Calathea potting mixes?
The Universal Substrate offers a balanced formulation suitable for the greatest number of plants, while our specific potting mixes meet the precise needs of certain species.
THEMonstera SubstrateIt contains more coconut husks for epiphytic plants with aerial roots. TheCalathea potting soilincorporates vermiculite for constant moisture retention.
Choose the Universal Substrate if you are a beginner or have a varied collection of classic houseplants.
Choose a specific potting mix if you are growing several specimens of the same family with particular needs.
