Which soil mix is best for this crop?
I usually use a potting mix with good drainage to help retain moisture, using equal parts peat and perlite. This is a great way to help your plant stay healthy and happy! I'm sure your Polly will love this mix!
If you want, you can add perlite, peat moss, and a handful of compost. If you want to add fertilizer, that's okay too—just add a small amount. Just make sure it's all mixed together and that the pot has a drainage hole.
For optimal effects, combine compost, peat moss, and perlite.
