How are Molly's Potting Mixes different from typical “Big-Box” retailer potting soils?Updated 4 months ago

The main difference between Molly's Potting Mixes and traditional soil mixes sold at big-box retailers is in how each handles water drainage and general aeration. Traditional soil mixes tend to compact quickly when watered because they consist of very small particles. As a result, they retain a lot of water, which is not ideal for indoor container plants that are highly susceptible to root rot and other issues related to overwatering. Molly's Potting Mixes are designed to address the primary needs of plants growing in containers, including:

• Reduced risk of overwatering

• Proper levels of moisture retention

• Space for free root, water, gas, and nutrient movement

• pH levels that support nutrient uptake

• Freedom from soil-borne diseases and pathogens

• Sufficient support to anchor the roots and the plant itself
