Terrarium soil mix (nutrient enriched)

Terrarium soil mix (nutrient enriched)

I had made a video on terrarium soil mix long time back.
However nowdays I am using a slightly different soil mix which is also nutrient enriched. This soil mix is providing me with better results so thought of sharing the same with you all.

Here are the 6 components with the amazon buying links
1)Coco peat - Helps to retain moisture and keeps the soil loose and airy too. Usually comes in blocks which can be soaked in water to disintegrate into a soil like texture.

2)Sand - good drainage and aeration properties. Also improves soil texture.

3)Dry Peat Moss - has great water and nutrients retention properties

4)Pine bark - helps with drainage and aeration

5)Activated charcoal - Antimicrobial, removes toxins, prevents mold and odour

6)Aquasoil - its a complete substrate in itself. Rich in nutrients and organic acids

A terrarium soil must have good drainage, aeration and water retention properties. Additionally it must have a lower ph as favoured by closed terrarium plants and moss and should also have antibacterial properties. Presence of nutrients in the soil mix will greatly benefit the plants with respect to their health and growth. The above mix has all these properties and hence can be an ideal soil mix for your terrariums.
