Potting mix breaks down over time. If a plant has been in the same pot for a long while, the soil may be holding it back.
- Water runs straight through or pools on top. Compacted mix stops absorbing water evenly.
- The soil has shrunk away from the pot edge. That gap lets water escape without reaching the roots.
- A crusty white layer forms on the surface. Often a sign of mineral buildup.
- Growth has slowed even though your care has not changed.
- It has been more than a year or two since you changed the mix.
What to do
The best fix is fresh potting mix. If you are not ready to repot, Soil Recharge helps improve nutrient uptake in depleted mix, and Microbe Boost supports beneficial microbial activity in the root zone. Together they make our Soil Reset Duo.
