Why root rot and fungus gnats keep happening

It's not you. It's your soil.
Store-bought potting soil is mostly peat. Peat compacts. When it does, water sits instead of draining, and roots suffocate. That's root rot.
That same soggy soil is where fungus gnats breed. Sticky traps only catch the adults.

  • Drains faster, so water doesn't sit around the roots
  • Airy, peat-free structure that lets roots breathe
  • Ready to use, with a mix for each plant type

    I have already purchased twice from Sybotanica in the last couple of weeks. I was so impressed with the quality of the soil mixes and how well the plants were doing. Very useful to find the best soil for each of my plants using the SYBASoil guide.

Questions

Which mix do I need?

Each SYBASoil mix is made for a plant type, like aroids, succulents or orchids. Not sure? Scan your plant above and we will recommend the right mix.

What can I expect when using SYBASoil?

In our survey of 1,182 customers, 94.2% saw stronger root and leaf growth within a few weeks. Most also notice that watering gets easier, because the soil has the right structure.

Why is the soil peat-free?

Peat compacts over time and can stop absorbing water. We use coconut fibre and worm castings instead, so the mix stays airy and usable for much longer. It is also better for the environment.

When do I repot my plant?

Repot once you notice any of these: roots growing out of the bottom of the pot, soil that dries very quickly between waterings, a plant that is top-heavy and wants to fall over, or roots pushing the plant up and out of its pot. For most houseplants that is every 1 to 2 years.
