Instead, Sol Soils uses coco coir chips, pumice, perlite, pine bark and calcined clay to deliver quick drainage, reliable airflow and sustainable ingredients. The formula helps reduce standing moisture around roots while providing enough structure for stable pots and repotting projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this mix improve drainage and prevent soggy roots?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast drainage comes from a blend of coarse mineral and organic components that create large pore space and airflow.
