Question for all plant lovers:What do you use in order to increase soil-quality for your potted plants?I always put the leaves on the plant on the soil so they can decompose, but should I order some worm casting?#plants @plants

@selea @plants Peat, pumice, composted cow manure, maybe some kelp extract...It's controversial but I use Humorganite, compressed and dried human sewage, as well. I tend to compost for a few months before using.

@seleaI compost in a bin invthe garden and then mix that in. The compost basically consists of organic materials.@plants

@selea @plants What potted plants do you have? La tierra no es la misma para todas las plantas. De todas maneras, el humus de lombriz siempre mejora la tierra en consistencia, retención, nutrientes, etc. Para mantener la humedad y aportar materia orgánica suelo poner cáscaras de pecanas, nueces y huevos. También ramas secas, aserrín de madera sin tratar, hojas, las fibras del coco, etc.

@joe I think most of my plants have very big pots, so they should be fine for a couple of more years. And since they are starting to get very big - it is a real hassle to repot them in our apartment :(@plants

@selea You could add some charcoal in the bottom of a pot, that would absorb excess fertilizer from the runoff water.@plants

@kensanata The plants are just to big, and repoting them inside our apartment would just put them at risk for damage :(Adding tea leaves is something that I have done in the past actually, I might start doing that again!

@kensanata I dont think salt is a problem to be honest, I dont use fertilizers and I let the plant take a shower a couple times of the year.I have tried to add earthworms actually :p but I think the earth was to compact and also to dry. I think I have almost solved that by watering more often but with smaller volumes. Also, placing a block of ice and let it melt during the day seems to have improved something - I have gotten alot of new leaves lately.

@kensanata Ah that dilemma! Would it be possible to regrow the broken-off part?

@selea @plants I use Miracle-Gro, but it is fertilizer. Human sewage is a cheap alternative, aka Dillo Dirt. https://www.austintexas.gov/department/dillo-dirt

@selea @plants I would go with repotting, but I see they are already quite big. I give mine a feed with comfrey liquid every now and again. If you can't grow your own comfrey to turn it into liquid, you can usually buy it. It's a totally natural fertiliser, i.e. no chemicals like some offered. Seaweed liquid is also another option.
