Popular Questions

How does compost support healthy indoor plants?
Houseplant compost provides essential nutrients and the right balance of aeration and moisture retention for healthy growth. Formulated with plant food and suitable for various plant types, it creates the perfect growing environment for your indoor plants. Multi-purpose compost or potting soil can be used for a wide range of houseplants, ensuring your plant roots thrive with the support of a well-balanced, nutrient-rich mix.

 
What is the best type of compost for house plants?
Unlike outdoor plants, indoor plants require a slightly different soil structure to support healthy root development and moisture retention. Luckily, Boma Garden Centre offers an extensive range of specialist composts designed to meet the unique needs of indoor plants, from tropical foliage to succulents. These composts improve aeration and drain efficiency, prevent waterlogging, and provide the ideal environment for thriving houseplants.

 
Can I plant house plants in compost?
Yes, you can plant houseplants in compost! Using a suitable compost, such as multi-purpose compost, provides essential plant food and supports healthy growth. It improves the soil structure, allowing air to reach plant roots while retaining moisture. You can also use compost for top dressing to nourish your plants over time, ensuring they receive the feed they need for thriving indoors.

 
What's the difference between compost for indoor plants and outdoor plants?
Compost for indoor plants is designed for potting plants in confined spaces, offering benefits of added moisture retention and aeration to houseplants. It usually contains less organic matter to prevent waterlogging and improve drainage. Outdoor compost, however, improves soil drainage and supports deeper root growth, catering to larger spaces and varying weather conditions. Indoor compost often includes added plant food or fertiliser, while outdoor compost enriches garden soil.
