Westland Houseplant Potting Mix 10L Peat Free Soil

Great compost, if not a little expensive. I’d purchased this with the sole purpose of potting up a peace lily that hadn’t done much for years. The plant was healthy but hadn’t flowered, so I thought I’d try repotting into a larger container and using this compost. Within a few weeks, new growth started to appear and to my surprise a few flower spikes emerged. My peace lily has been in its new pot for a few months now, and had tripled in size and has an abundance of flowers, I’m assuming all down to this compost. I have had great success with this brand, from orchid compost to succulent compost- all with great results and never had trouble with mould or gnat infestations. The bag is quite small so if you’re repotting a large plant please bear this in mind. This brand is now my go-to for house plants!

This brand of houseplant compost is the most common, popular one on sale in most garden centres, bargain stores, supermarkets etc. I have used it for many years and always get great results. The compost itself is a quality peat free compost, moist, stone/twig free and after re-potting or planting new plants all have adapted to compost quickly. I can also say that the compost when new is always moist and never has any Fungus Gnats so no need to treat compost after potting. It contains small 'rust' coloured pellets for water drainage and perlite for aeration and you can always add other mediums to suit your plants as this compost is an all round base compost. It can be used for most houseplants except ericaceous soil loving plants so most plants you buy from the stores will do well in it. This seller also had a very good price for 2 bags of this compost, in fact I paid almost the same for 1 bag from my local garden centre. Don't be put off by the size of the bags as once compost is taken out and broken up the volume expands. I have a variety of plants from Monstera, Schefflera, Spider plants, Prayer plants, Sansevieria, Ficus and they are all doing well and growing healthily. I can recommend for ease of use especially if you haven't got a garden/space or time to make up your own compost mix.

Quality and bag size is good .

Amazing potting mix on my third bag already my tropicals are thriving 😇

Great value and quality houseplant potting mix and a very handy size bags it seems to work as my plants now look some much healthier

Excellent product well packed delivered on time good price

I’ve repotted a few houseplants with this now (monstera, peace lily, and a couple of smaller foliage plants), and it’s been one of the better mixes I’ve used. The texture is light and easy to break up straight out of the bag—no big clumps—and it doesn’t feel overly dense like some cheaper composts. What stood out most for me is the balance: it drains well so roots aren’t sitting in water, but it still holds enough moisture that I’m not constantly having to water. My peace lily usually sulks after repotting but perked up within a couple of days with this. Leaves look healthier and I’ve already seen some new growth starting. No issues with pests or debris either, which I’ve had with other brands before. It also seems quite forgiving—good if you’re not 100% precise with watering. Only thing to note is if you’ve got plants that prefer very fast drainage (like succulents), you might still want to mix in extra perlite—but for most standard houseplants, this works perfectly on its own. Would definitely buy again.

Decent quality potting mix, and no signs of insect infestation after using to repot a couple of houseplants. Appears to be fairly well draining, yet I feel it could be a slightly chunkier mix, to aid this a little further. Retains moisture well, and all of my plants are growing well in it.
