About the Calathea & Maranta Soil Mix:
This is a highly aerated, highly moisture-retaining mixture. The blend has gigantic quantities of small air pockets to suit the fine roots of Calathea and Maranta. The extra aeration also aids in allowing new shoots to emerge from the soil as well as creating an extra safety net against root rot. The moisture retaining elements such as Vermiculite, Lava Rock and Coco Coir mean there is less risk of accidentally under watering and causing these dramatic plants to droop or become crispy.
What Calathea and Maranta want from their soil:
Ultimately these plants need moisture. Coming from the rainforest floor, there is no such thing as a dry spell for these plants. However it is also very easy to overwater these plants, especially as they react to so many different environmental factors causing the owner to think water is the problem. To prevent this risk we made the mix extra airy, which also benefits the plants growth patten and root structures.
As with all of our Premium mixes a population of positive bacteria, mycelium and microfauna is present in the substrate to create the potted ecosystem which keeps your plant healthy! Enough nutrients for the first 2 months of growth is also in every bag.
Please Note:
-We mix and make everything to order, so appearance may vary depending on batch.
-30L mixes are packaged and sent in large white sacks.

I’ve just used this potting mix on my Calathea Rattlesnake plant.It feels fluffy and nice and airy.My plant seems to be doing well in it.
Very happy calathea, grows like ninja - unstoppable!
I used Soil Ninja Calathea & Maranta blend when re-potting my Calatheas last year, which they loved and are very happy - quite a feat for Calatheas as they are so choosy - so delighted to get some more for potting on again this year.
Fabulous really happy with the soil, plant has visibly changed
I absolutely love Soil Ninja’s Premium Maranta & Calathea Blend! The mix is light, airy and beautifully balanced, with excellent drainage while still retaining enough moisture for these humidity-loving plants. My Maranta/Calathea seems to be thriving in it! The quality is fantastic, and I’m really happy with how healthy the roots look after repotting. Another brilliant soil blend from Soil Ninja — highly recommended! 🌿💚

Excellent quality soil
I’ve used the soil for several different plants and I highly recommend. These guys know their soil. The price is also incredibly good! I decided to try these guys after getting a ton of Gnats from stars like B&Q and home bargains. I have never had this issue using soil ninja!
Excellent, plants love this soil
Lo e everything about this and my plants are now thriving!
Through repotting I see my plants coming back with the help of customer service letting me know how to take care of them which was sooo helpful, my plants are now really happy and already see new growth
I bought it as my calatheas looks like they do not want to live anymore and decided to die slowly, hopefully this product (which is an amazing mix) and the pot can help them to survive, I already recommend the quality of this to my friends
As always, the perfect dirt for your house plants!
As always, great product and delivery quickly.

So good, won’t be going anywhere else for houseplant soil!
Great packaging, looks really smart. Also easy to use and as expected.
Used this for my Prayer Plant which seems to be fine with this soil.
Shipping options were too limited and expensive for my order of 1 litre of soil, it would be good to see more variety of delivery options.
