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

Switching takes 3 steps

  1. Find your mix

    Scan your plant below, or pick the mix for its plant type.

  2. Repot

    Shake off the old soil, check the roots and repot in your SYBASoil mix.

  3. Water when the top is dry

    Let the top layer dry out between waterings. The airy structure does the rest.

    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.

    I ordered at Sybotanica for the third time. The quality is perfect! The third time I ordered there was a problem with some Products but the Support answered really quick, was really nice and helped me out without hesitation.

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.
