The Rewilding Co. Gritty Potting Mix
The Rewilding Co. Gritty Potting Mix is the gritty formulation of our all-natural, science-backed, personally-tested, filler-free, ready-to-use substrate blended in small batches from aged pine bark, perlite, pumice, and coco coir.
The Gritty mix sits at the lowest end of the water retention scale and the highest end for oxygen availability across their entire potting mix range, making it the fastest-draining and most aerated option they offer. It retains naturally occurring Penicillium and Trichoderma, is free from pathogens and added nutrients, and can be used directly without pre-treatment. Available in 5L and 40L.
The go-to for plants that hate sitting in wet soil:
- Succulents and cacti: A fast-draining mix that closely replicates the low-moisture, well-aerated conditions these plants need, significantly reducing the risk of root rot compared to standard potting mixes
- Drought-tolerant plants: Mediterranean plants like lavender and rosemary that prefer soil that dries fully between waterings thrive in a grittier, faster-draining substrate
- Plants recovering from root rot: Repotting into a faster-draining mix gives damaged roots a better chance to recover without sitting in consistently moist soil

What Our Customers Say
Real reviews of our products & store by verified customers
This is definitely an excellent potting mix!
Once I replaced the mix of my alocasia with this, it started thriving and pushing out new sprouts. It's a chunky and airy mix so watering becomes more frequent but great for plants that hate wet feet and get root rot fast.

This is my third purchase of this potting mix, and it continues to impress. The drainage is excellent, and my plants have been growing healthier than ever.
Ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. High-quality potting mix. Even though I definitely don't have green fingers. A reliable mix that makes plant care so much easier. Highly recommended.

Can't find a better soil mix to start my plant journey with! 2 weeks in and my plants are flourishing!

My alocasia stingray suffered from root rot and was attacked by mealy bugs. Potted an almost dead plant with just 1 yellowing leaf and few roots in this mix.
Today I cut off the last leaf and look, there is a sign of life. This potting mix is great. If I had known about this earlier, I would have fewer dead plants

Exactly 1 month since repot. This is a propagated anthurium and suffice to say, it absolutely loves the soil and the net pot.
I've had this plant since January and this is the first time it's growing 7 new leaves all at once! My only regret is that I wish bought a bigger pot because boy these roots grow fast!
— Gian J.
Excellent. Bought this as a recommendation from a friend and it works.

The soil is a good base and very suitable for adding amendments to suit the needs of your plant. I tried many soilless mixes, I like this one the most, for me it is the most versatile and easiest to use. Wish it came in a smaller 2L pack though. Good price and was delivered fast.
— A.N.
I'd highly recommend this potting mix as my alocasia roots grow very well and healthy in it. I'm also using it for other plant.
