Where I am it’s called potting ‘soil’ & garden ‘soil’.. I didn’t know the difference either.. I planted some of my containers vegetables in ‘garden soil’..😳.. some were seeds and some were seedlings that I started as seed... soooooo we will see what happens...😳🙄😳 🗓
Awsm video. Am in the process of making this potting mix. Phosphorus and potash are very imp. To plants why is these two elements not added in universal potting mix.
Hi, i have purchased avacodo plant, and i need advice to shift it into pot as i have a flat with terrace....could you please help me how to prepare good soil and what fertilizer should i use
Hey Garden tips! Sir my rose plant is not producing new leaves , should i repot it or wait for spring to see its growth, I have added fertiliser but it is not showing any new leaves.
Thank you for your videos, im a new subscriber, 2nd seasons into really growing. Learning from reading and doing. But my soil mix i cant get right . After this im wondering whats more of a shock a poor soil, or repotting.
Porosity of cinder and perlite are same as I have seen in some videos .Can we use cinder instead of perlite for vegetable plant? Is there any chance of rotting the roots if Cocopeat + vermiculite+perlite potting mix is used as Cocopeat & vermiculite has good water holding capacity ?
Hi ....ur new subscriber😊 thanks ton for the video ...plz reply actually, I put only regular garden soil in all my indoor and outdoor plants .Because, it is difficult these days to buy regular garden soil can I buy " potting mix" for all the plants ...plz suggest thanks in advance🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Looking for advice please iv raised beds in a greenhouse can i half fill with horse manure then top off with compost pm growing roses and s trawberrys ..thanks
U mean only horse dung and compost as the mix. That would be too much for roots to handle. They may burn off. 30 to 40% compost plus dung and the rest other stuff like soil, peat, etc
I have a question. I have some store bought new bags of potting soil. When I open the bag soil has moisture and has some white powdery stuff. Is it mold/mildew or something else ? Do I throw out the whole bag if it's mold/mildew ?
Hi, it could be perlite. Check perlite granules of tiny appear like that. The ready potting mix of sealed and by good tetra pack covered will not have fungus.
Got informed of the good mixture .In India we do use hands for everything, but I got in touch of earthworm which causes irritability in my personal experience. We don't know how unseen fungus, bacterias would be there in them.We should use hand globes which is not so difficult.
Hi.. I read somewhere about 1:1:1 ratio of Cocopeat, perlite & vermi-compost. And I've done the same for 15 pots on my terrace. Have I put too much vermi-compost in the potting mix? Please advise, thanks.
Dr Saab what I have mixed is Garden soil 40/ Cocopeat 30/ Vermi compost 30/ Sand 10/ Neem powder 5/ Bone meal 5/ +Epsom salt Am I doing it in a correct way. Iam not getting good cow dung manure so I have not used it. Pl I want ur suggestion. Thank u sir
This is a very nutritious mix mam! Vermicompost of good brand will be best as it contains a lot of micronutrients as well. For veggies, you can make 40% compost or add every week one handful.
Thanks...but you move very fast with details of potting mix. Can u tell the ratio between cocopeat:perlite:vermiculite:compost? Can we grow plants in pots without using any soil?
@@GardenTips means we should add soil+coco+perlite+compost. But in ur video u r not using any soil for POTTING MIX for terrace pots/indoor plants... Kindly clarify.
@@GardenTips do understand what I said.. " M. sand" means.. Black stone is grinded in the form of sand particles. Construction is very stronger than r. Sand. Black stone (കരിങ്കല്ല് )used for basement of a house. My question is this M.sand..can we use instead of river sand in potting..? M sand have more wt than river sand. Sea sand is salty. It not suitable for vegi.. But uses cocknut /palm which is ur place. Do u know malayalam?
thanks man, i have compost and access to free sand, would it be good to use 50 percent sifted compost to 50 percent sand? i tried just compost and its not working, thankyou
Hi, too much sand is not good except for succulent plants. Add ordinary soil 50, compost 30 and sand 20. Too much compost (nitrogen) will burn the roots.
ok i have access to loamy soil aswel so that should work out, right now i have a comparison going on between compost only, soil only with compost on top, half soil half compost, and half sand half compost, but i wouldnt have figured out to mix them to that ratio for a long time haha, thankyou very much from tasmania :)
do you have a speacialty mix for fruit trees like mangos and citrus? do we need to fertilise extra? and which is better for faster growing healthier plants, potting soil, or potting mix? i will buy coco peat and perlite and use the ratio you recommend if it is alot better, thanks bro
BetterYouBetterWorld yes fo fruiting and flowering plants adding monthly fertilizer to the top soil after filling the soil is recommended. You can use any fertiliser like cowdung powder, or even vermicompost or even inorganic like NPK fertilziers.
thankyou and do you no which is better out of potting soil and potting mix? i have 3 citrus seedlings and today i have planted one in the pottng soil you said which is 50 soil 30 compost 20 sand and one in 50 sand 50 compost and the other in equal amounts of soil, sand,and compost, its about to start getting cold here tho so i may not know till like 8 months away haha :p atleast i can see which is least prone to root rot :)
Hello, I have planted around 12 flower plants in 12" containers. As of now my Gardner came in and potted all of them with general red soil from local nursery. All my plants seem to die very often. Kindly advice! Adding to it I have 4 18" containers which had water apple, pomogranate, fig and lemon. The fertilizer shop guy gave me a mutli nutrients packets and told me to put 1/2 kg in each containers. I did and 2 plants water apple and pomogranate dried away in 24 hrs. My fig plant just started dying however my lemon plant started fruiting? How do I receive my fig plant and do I need to repot my lemon plant?
Hi sir heard ur from Bangalore....... I have to grow plants in bags and pots like flowering plants and few veggie.... I had made potting mix of cocopeat, vermicompost, and sowed seeds thy germinated bt after for certain height the fall and died.... So pl need advice in this.... I am frm Bangalore... And need it never to contact u
Hi Nethra. Yes am from Bangalore. There are lot of things to consider like starting from good quality seeds that produce strong seedlings, then supporting or protecting them from wind animals, hardening off process and so many factors. U can join our wats app group and find lot of valuable suggestions there and Rani mam is also there in group. She also from bangalore and an expert with 40 plus experience. Am a Radiologist doctor and busy most of the time in the day. Good luck! Link to join Watsapp in last line of description of any of my videos.
thank u sir .....i had joined the group... Can I ask suggestions over there regarding hw much quantity poring mix etc as I had seen some rules ....can we ask any doubt and send pics of plants
Hi, I like your channel. I have a question regarding my Anthurium plant. It was gifted by my sister in November and now it has died completely because I failed to take care of it properly. The tag on plant said that it needs 6 small ice cubes every week that's all. And I did the same but I thought that I over did this and Its leaves started to turn yellow so I thought it needs to be replanted into a bigger container so I transplanted it but that also did not work and now after months I am left with only roots and no sign of new leaves coming through. Can you please help me revive my plant if it is possible at all?
Hi, I have a video to save a dying plant. You may find some useful tips. But the stem of your plant may be soft and most likely fungus rot. Checkout this th-cam.com/video/hArYLm0r9XU/w-d-xo.html
Mahad Tech Travel Hi, fertiliser including compost /cow dung and other items should not be more than 25% . Otherwise excessive nitrogen can only be harmful to plant roots.
Mahad Tech Travel yes vermicompost is great. If you want to make multi nutrient potting mix, remember this simple formula- 75% soil + coco peat or sand or perlite etc mixed + 25 % Compost (includes all stuff like vermicompost cowdung tea powder micronutrients powder etc etc.
Definitely not perlite. White mildewey stuff. Some bags are open but with 90 % soil still in it. I see same white powdery stuff in the bag of steer manure I buy from HD too
I suggest if u cannot return for a refund, instead of discarding it mix Antifungal powder like SAAF about 1/2 tsp per kg. Mix well and use it for your ornamental or flowering plants.
Excellent video thanks!
I didn" t know the differences between potting soil and potting mix. Thank you Dr.
Where I am it’s called potting ‘soil’ & garden ‘soil’.. I didn’t know the difference either.. I planted some of my containers vegetables in ‘garden soil’..😳.. some were seeds and some were seedlings that I started as seed... soooooo we will see what happens...😳🙄😳 🗓

To make it lighter but you need to add garden soil depending on plants you grow like those which require a good root anchorage garden soil is a must.
Thank you for your kind informations 👌👍❤

GARDEN TIPS Thank you😄
Thanks for the vedio. It was helpful for me. But nowadays v dnt get river sand. So is there any alternate for tat.
Construction sand will do, avoid sea sand.
Hello,,,,,
Can I use river sand in place of cocopeat,,,,means without cocopeat.
Use max 10% else it will drain out water very fast.
Hey Garden tips!
Sir my rose plant is not producing new leaves , should i repot it or wait for spring to see its growth, I have added fertiliser but it is not showing any new leaves.
Wait till spring.
Sir river sand is the yellow sand or white??
Thank you for your videos, im a new subscriber, 2nd seasons into really growing. Learning from reading and doing. But my soil mix i cant get right . After this im wondering whats more of a shock a poor soil, or repotting.
can we use top soil instead of garden soil. thx
Can we mix vermiculite & perlite together in the universal potting mix?
Yes,
Porosity of cinder and perlite are same as I have seen in some videos .Can we use cinder instead of perlite for vegetable plant?
Is there any chance of rotting the roots if Cocopeat + vermiculite+perlite potting mix is used as Cocopeat & vermiculite has good water holding capacity ?
Hi ....ur new subscriber😊 thanks ton for the video ...plz reply actually, I put only regular garden soil in all my indoor and outdoor plants .Because, it is difficult these days to buy regular garden soil can I buy " potting mix" for all the plants ...plz suggest thanks in advance🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks...but you move very fast with details of potting mix. Can u tell the ratio between cocopeat:perlite:vermiculite:compost? Can we grow plants in pots without using any soil?
If u too much loose stuff without soil, then plant root anchorage will be an issue. You can use soilless for hanging pots and stuff like that.
@@GardenTips means we should add soil+coco+perlite+compost. But in ur video u r not using any soil for POTTING MIX for terrace pots/indoor plants... Kindly clarify.
From now l make potting mix like this.

Haai.., Doctor.. How r u?.. സുഖം.
Now for costruction "m sand " is used. Not getting river sand. If gets.. must pay... More Costly.
Construction sand is river sand only, they won’t use sea sand for construction.
@@GardenTips do understand what I said.. " M. sand" means.. Black stone is grinded in the form of sand particles. Construction is very stronger than r. Sand.
Black stone (കരിങ്കല്ല് )used for basement of a house.
My question is this M.sand..can we use instead of river sand in potting..? M sand have more wt than river sand.
Sea sand is salty. It not suitable for vegi.. But uses cocknut /palm which is ur place. Do u know malayalam?
