At Greens Avenue Plant Company, we believe that thriving houseplants begin with healthy soil. That’s why we’ve formulated our LifeSource Smart Soil, an innovative, mycelium-infused soil designed to create the ideal growing environment for houseplants, especially in drier climates like Denver. Whether you're growing rare plants or common varieties, our mycelium-infused soil can dramatically improve their health and growth.
What is Mycelium-Infused Soil?
Mycelium is a network of fungal threads that live beneath the surface of the soil, naturally forming a symbiotic relationship with plant roots called mycorrhizae. This partnership allows the plant to better absorb water and nutrients from the soil, leading to stronger, more resilient growth. Mycelium-infused soil mimics this natural process, ensuring your houseplants thrive indoors.
Why Your Houseplants Need Mycelium
Houseplants grown in traditional potting soil often miss out on the benefits of mycelium, which they would naturally find in their native environments. Adding mycelium to your soil mix brings a number of advantages:
Enhanced Nutrient Absorption. Mycelium extends the reach of your plant’s roots, pulling in essential nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen that might otherwise remain out of reach.
Better Water Retention. Mycelium helps your soil retain moisture longer, distributing it evenly around the roots. This can reduce the frequency of watering and help prevent over- or under-watering.
Disease Resistance. Plants in mycelium-rich soil are more resilient against harmful pathogens. Mycelium acts as a natural barrier, boosting the plant's immunity against root diseases and pests.
Improved Root Health. By aerating the soil and allowing oxygen to flow freely, mycelium helps create stronger, more robust root systems, which are critical for overall plant health.
Perfect for Houseplants in Dry Climates
If you live in a drier region like Denver, or your home tends to have low humidity, mycelium-infused soil is especially beneficial. Our **LifeSource Smart Soil** is specifically designed for plants that need balanced moisture retention. With its water-holding properties, this soil reduces the risk of drying out while still protecting against overwatering—common challenges for indoor plants in dry climates.
How to Use Mycelium-Infused Soil
Using LifeSource Smart Soil is as simple as repotting your houseplants. When transferring your plants, make sure their roots come into direct contact with the mycelium-infused soil to establish a strong connection between the roots and the mycorrhizal network. Here’s how to get started:
1. Repot your plants. Use LifeSource Smart Soil to ensure optimal growth.
2. Water wisely. Mycelium helps balance water retention, so check your plant’s moisture needs before watering.
3. Avoid chemicals. To preserve the mycelium network, steer clear of harsh synthetic fertilizers and opt for organic alternatives.
