FAQ About Indoor Plant Soil Compaction Solutions

What types of potting mixes are best for preventing soil compaction?

A well-aerated potting mix with materials like perlite, vermiculite, or coconut coir is best for preventing soil compaction. These components increase soil porosity and allow better water retention and air flow. Specialized mixes for particular plant types, such as succulents or orchids, are also formulated to resist compaction.
