Everyday Plant Care Essentials
The basics I use on almost every plant
My favorite watering can! It’s half a gallon and I love the small spout. It’s beautiful and also the water doesn’t come out too fast.
VATTENKRASSE Watering can - black-green/gold 68 oz
This is the fertilizer I have been using for over a year! Love this stuff. It’s gentle on your plants and I do this every watering or at least every other watering. 1 cap full per gallon.
Purived Houseplant Food
Great starter bundle of clear nursery pots, and the quality of these is amazing! They are more sturdy than some of the other flimsy ones. They have great drainage holes too.
homenote Clear Nursery Pots 3-6.7 Inch 36 Pack
I love to use this on my variegated plants like my monstera albo and monstera thai constellation. I've heard it helps with browning on the leaves, and so far so good. Either way, it's a great supplement for plants!
TPS NUTRIENTS Silica for Plants, Stronger Stems
I love having this on hand just in case I use tap water to water my plants. I do have reverse osmosis or filtered shower heads but I have used this and it's a peace of mind to make sure my water is ok to water my plants with!

Ingredients I use to make my own soil mixes and amendments for soil health!
I think this is the best potting mix out there. A great base for making your mix. I have used other brands too, but if I were to pick one it would be this one.
FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil
I've used all brands but this is the one I have been using lately. Perlite is so good for helping with good drainage. It’s really lightweight and I use it for propagation and in all of my soil mixes!

This is my favorite brand as of right now. I've used other brands too, but I really love this one! It adds air pockets to your soul, and adds structure.
Better-Gro Orchid Bark
Working on getting these up on my website. Message me if you are interested in getting some. I have 1/8 sifted and 1/12 sifted. Incredible stuff. I use it in my potting mixes, seed starting mixes, top dressing my plants, and out in the garden as well...
Cherene's Greens Worm Castings
I love this brand of horticultural charcoal. I have used this consistently in my potting mixes. It absorbs toxins and impurities in your soil, and helps keep your soil mix fresh. It also adds to the structure of your soil mix.
Horticultural Charcoal for Indoor Plants
Loveeee this product. It's ability to hold moisture is incredible. It's more sustainable than peat moss and coco coir. I mix this in to my potting mixes to help hold in moisture better. It is hydrophilic rather than hydrophobic like other products.
Banana Bloom Sustainable Banana Fiber 1 lb
I love this medium for my chunky soil mixes. I like that it's the bigger size. This pumice is great for the structure of your soil. It’s like perlite’s bigger sister. It is heavier and doesn’t float to the top overtime.
MAX Pumice
I really like this brand and have used it multiple times. It expands when you add water to it, and it is a great base for your soil mixes. It is chunky, but also still has good moisture retention!
2 Pack Coco Chips 2.2lb Organic Husk
I feel like coco coir is so versatile and I use it for so many things. This is the brand I have been using lately. You add water to these bricks and it expands to soooo much substrate. It holds moisture very well and is very fine. I like using this i...

This is the brand of LECA I bought and i love it. I like how it's reusable, and it's a lot of fun growing plants in LECA! I feel like this box is going to last me forever. Of course depends on how many plants you want to put in it. Just make sure yo...
Legigo 19 LBS Organic Leca Clay Pebbles 4-16mm
I use this for my alocasia corms and mix it 50/50 with perlite. Works amazing! Also hear it's great for propagating, but I have not tried that yet.
Fluval Stratum
Clear Nursery Pots
These are all of the clear nursery pots I have used and the ones that are my favorite!

Not my favorite. They are flimsier, but get the job done. I do have them and use them, but if I have the Homenote ones available I choose those every time.
