A classic peat-based potting mix with more chunk than the bagged stuff.

Chunky Classic Potting Mix starts with enhanced peat moss for steady moisture, then adds fir bark, chunky perlite and pumice to keep it light, open and slow to compact. Worm castings, biochar and zeolite round it out. If you've been repotting into heavy big-box soil, this is the easy swap for your most popular houseplants.

Best for

• Monstera
• Pothos and scindapsus
• Begonias
• Spider plants
• Other popular houseplants

Haven's pick: My go-to for happy monsteras and begonias.

Why plant parents love it

• Balanced moisture. Holds enough water for thirsty plants without staying wet.
• Light and airy. Bark, perlite and pumice keep the soil from packing down over time.
• Better soil structure. Worm castings and biochar help the mix stay crumbly and easy for roots to grow through.
• Rewets easily. The enhanced peat soaks water back up even after the pot dries out.
• Mycorrhizae added. Beneficial fungi that partner with roots to support healthy root growth.
• Ready to use. No rinsing, mixing or extra amendments. Open the bag and repot.

Ingredients

Enhanced peat moss, chunky perlite, fir bark chips, pumice, worm castings, biochar, zeolite and mycorrhizae fungi.

Enhanced peat moss is peat pre-blended with dolomite lime to balance its natural acidity, calcium silicate, and a wetting agent so it soaks up water easily, even after drying out.
