5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely love this chunky soil for my plants and my plants love it too! I think the mixture of substrates makes it well worth the price.

5 out of 5 starsExcellent material, as described, and I can’t wait to repot some lithops using, in part, this mix!

5 out of 5 starsI love this potting soil and have been using it for years now. It’s the only kind I will use! My plants thrive in it and I like that there are a bunch of fungus gnats in it when you first open it.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely love this chunky soil for my plants and my plants love it too! I think the mixture of substrates makes it well worth the price. Additionally, the seller was kind enough to give me an upgrade and sent me a 2 gallon instead of the 1 gallon I ordered, which I really appreciate. To the seller, thank you!

5 out of 5 starsExcellent blend components! Have several Hoya propagations needing to pot up and this “soil” will no doubt give the plant babies best opportunity to thrive. Yes is a bit more expensive but so very worth it. Many thanks, Erin and I will become a repeat customer!

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to receive soil orders?
All soils are made to order and so they may take an extra day or two depending on how many other orders there are.
Do plants come with soil in pots?
All plants are shipped bare root unless otherwise noted.
Shipping estamate seems wrong, can this be adjusted?
If you feel that the shipping hasn't been combined correctly, please let me know, I will fix it right away!
Custom and personalized orders
I can usually find most all plants! Just let me know what you are looking for and I will do my best to find it!
How long does it take to ship my item after it's purchased?
The estimated delivery time is based on 1-4 BUSINESS day handling time of the shipping service selected and when we receive cleared payment. A business day is any day, Monday thru Friday. A business day is NOT Saturday or Sunday nor any holidays. Please know that I work until 3am daily and do the very best I can to get your orders out in a timely manner.
What are the transit times once an item ships?
Please note that we can not be responsible for transit times. Once a package leaves my hands, I no longer have control over what happens and cannot be held responsible for someone else's actions (i.e. the post office taking FOREVER for it to get to you or them playing soccer with your package). "Transit time" is the time it takes from when the package leaves my hands until it is delivered to you. The transit/delivery time listed under the "shipping info" tab is an ESTIMATE ONLY, and is NOT a guarantee.
What shipping services do you offer?
There are three options. First class is the slowest and can take anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks and package weight must be under 16oz. Priority mail *usually* takes 3-5 days but sometimes it can be much, much longer. Express 1-2 day is the ONLY guaranteed service. If you need a package by a certain date, you must order with express shipping. If you'd like to use this service, shoot me a message so that I can adjust the listing for your purchase.
My package is missing, what should I do?
If a package goes missing, the best thing to do is contact your local station. Avoid calling the 1-800 number since they pretty much have the same information you do. If you order from our shop and your package is delivered late - or gets lost in the mail - I am not responsible for refunds, cancellations, etc.
Do you ship international?
YES! Starting 4/1/2019 we will accept international orders. I have shipped many times to other countries without a hitch but it doesn't come without some risks. Seeds, for the most part, are always allowed. However, plants and soils may not be allowed so purchase at your own risk. I can not be held responsible for packages destroyed by your customs agents. If shipping plants international, you must use priority and they will always be shipped bare root. Plants delivered to any EU country are not able to return for any reason due to their perishable nature.
Can I cancel an order once it has been placed but before it has been shipped?
Absolutely! However, please be advised you will be charged a small fee ($5) to process this request.
