Noot Potting Soil Mix for Indoor & House Plants – 1 Gallon – Orchid, Succulent, Cactus, Aroid, Houseplant, Monstera – Bio-Organic – Fast Draining – Rapid Root Growth – Pre-Soaked & Ready to Use

I'm fairly new to indoor plant keeping and I was terrified to change from soil to something that looked like... well, not soil. I was struggling with fungus gnats and root rot (I love my plants to death, literally) and after a couple plants succumbed to root rot, I decided to make the switch. So far I've transplanted a dragon tree, snake plants, a couple dracaenas, golden pothos, silver pothos, anthurium, african violet, and a syngonium. They're all doing amazing and have grown noticeably since the change. It's also taken care of my fungus gnat issues. I plan on repotting every plant in my collection in noot mix. I also have been water propagating and I've found that the roots handle it better when going from water to noot mix. I'd say the African violets were most sensitive of the change, I think because their roots were so delicate. Little but often watering worked well during the transition for them. Overall though, I'm really happy with noot :)

good quality soil would definitely order again. wait I did lol

Great soil very pricey for size bag.

Good airy mix. I repotted my bromeliad and it's pup. Overall it's a good mix. But I just discovered a few gnats coming out from it. I have diatomaceous powder and mixed with it (hope it will be fine). It does have a smell to it. I wasn't bothered by much. But do be cautious about the gnats though, since the mix is a bit moist

My only complaint is the price. Not sure why, but the bag is fairly small, especially considering how expensive it is. But aside from the price tag -which may be fully justified- my monsters absolutely loves it. It was doing well before I repotted it with this stuff, but now it is absolutely thriving! It has put out four, huge, healthy leaves since then and the roots seem to be going strong. I’m super impressed and would love to repot all of my plants with this stuff, but it’s just too expensive for me to do that. I’ll probably just stick to using it on the plants that really seem to need it most.

Wow. Now that we got that out of the way, I have so many good things to say about this mix. I planted this sansevieria a few weeks back. It’s sitting in a room that gets decent light. Today I was doing to clean the table it sits on, I pick up the pot to give it a once over. I notice white roots sticking out the pot. No way! This thing was a rhizome when I planted it and had brown old tattered roots. Take it out of the pot and MY MIND IS BLOWN! Many many healthy white beautiful roots covering the rhizome!! I’ve put a few plants in this mix and just left them. Now I want to go check them all. This soiless mix is amazing. I don’t have bugs near these plants and the roots say they are happy, very happy. I’m no longer worried or skeptical of this mix, it’s the S#!+ hands down. I know this company has had its share of public issues and many folks were turned off by that, the subs, and all the other things. I am a human and from what I’ve read, this company is trying to make amends and I’m happy to know that as I wish to continue to use this product. Atleast we can share in our love for plants. If you love your plants, they need this mix.

My Plants Seem To Like BUT there were bugs inside of the bag. Unfortunately, I cannot risk infestation and have to find an alternative. It also has an extremely overpowering and overwhelmingly foul smell. It does NOT go away for a few days. My living room smelled like a cow and/or horse stable for days. And the smell remains after that, albeit faint, if you get close enough to your plants. It’s pretty repulsive. If there were no bugs, I’d eventually search for an alternative off the strength of the smell alone.

Important - I highly suggest buying this directly from the company and not from Amazon. There are storage issues and they arrive open or moldy. I’ve had 3 replacement orders that I had to toss because of mold or broken bags. No issues from the mix purchased from Noot and they have free shipping. Review - My plants love this mix. I’ve been using Noot products for a few years including the liquid fertilizer. All of my plants have been transferred into the mix. My snake plants love this, my pothos are thriving and I recently transferred my large rubber plant and my Birkin and both are looking good. One bag is pricey BUT I’ve never had a bug issue or root rot and to me, it’s worth the price.

I like the mix, just transferred my succulents to this soil about a week ago so can’t say how it performs long term. The mix stanks! But I did notice that the smell fades after it’s out if the bag for a while. I can still smell it after watering but I’m sure it’ll fade completely with time. The description does say it’s pre-soaked so it makes sense that it smells. UPDATE - after a few months of using this mix I can confirm that the smell fades completely. It’s been a great mix for my succulents.

If you are tired of buying huge bark pieces and want a product that actually fits nicely around orchid plant roots, here it is! Transplanted my orchids two weeks ago and can see a change in them already. Lots of new growth. Plants are very happy. I will never buy Miracle Gro, Sun Bulb or Pro Mix Orchid Medium again. NOOT is sooo much easier to work with. Ten stars!

Ordered 2 bags one was great ! The other one had a really bad smell

I use it for hydroponics planting. My chives and bak choi grow well with it.

almost like bark mulch doesn't retain water much
