ABOUT THIS VIDEO: HOUSEPLANT POTTING MIX 
In this video Lucia shares her updated recipe for houseplant potting mix (including responding to the question of how to store houseplant potting mix). Potting mix is very important when it comes to the health of our houseplants and it is different to potting soil. Potting mix for indoor plants can differ in ingredients and the ingredients you select will vary depending on what kind of plant you have. This potting mix recipe is perfect for potting mix for pilea and other tropical plants. I use this potting mix for pilea peperomioides for example, and add extra perlite or pumice if I am using the potting mix for cuttings (as I show in the video). Let me know how it goes for you!
