Looking to mix your own soil or an alternative to potting soil?
If you are looking for a growing medium that will retain moisture and not get soggy then palm peat is a good option.
Mix it in with your potting soil of use it by itself to plant in.
What makes it perfect for indoor plants:

This is how to convert the brick into a soil:
- Grab a bucket (a 10l is recommended)
- Place the brick in the bucket
- Use lukewarm water, 4 liters, and add it to the bucket with the brick in.
- Let it soak for a few hours.
- Once you are sure it has completely cooled down, use your hands or big spoon to loosen up.
- You will see that it has grown in volume. This is why a larger container is recommended.
