ForestFloor™ is built to mirror the rich, humus-heavy soils found on tropical forest floors. It’s designed for houseplants, aroids, and epiphytes that thrive in warm, humid environments where roots need steady moisture, good airflow, and long-term nutrition.
Rather than relying on quick fertilizers or lightweight fillers, ForestFloor™ is engineered using our Biome Replication Technology™ (patent pending) — a process that studies how real forest soils function and rebuilds those systems in a reusable potting mix. When soil structure, organic matter, and minerals are balanced from the start, plants are able to grow steadily without constant correction.
This blend stays loose and breathable while holding moisture evenly. Compost and leaf mold provide the organic backbone and support healthy microbial life. Coco coir helps maintain consistent hydration, while fine bark improves structure and airflow around the roots. Worm castings supply gentle, slow-release fertility, biochar helps retain nutrients in the soil, and rock phosphate supports strong root development and flowering. Dolomite lime helps keep pH stable so nutrients remain available over time.
ForestFloor™ is well suited for foliage plants and tropical species including monsteras, philodendrons, ficus, orchids, bromeliads, palms, and many fast-growing herbs. It performs reliably in containers, indoor plantings, and warm-climate outdoor beds without compacting or breaking down.
To make things easier, we also offer a ForestFloor™ Plant Guide with simple adjustment notes for specific plant types. Built to behave like real rainforest soil, ForestFloor™ provides the balance of moisture, airflow, and fertility tropical plants need to grow steadily and stay healthy.
