I've been using the FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil Mix for several seasons now, and it never ceases to amaze me. Whether for indoor houseplants or my outdoor vegetable garden, this soil has become my go-to for ensuring healthy, vigorous plant growth.
The texture of the soil is perfect - a rich, loamy mix that holds moisture well yet drains beautifully, ensuring that roots never sit in water. I've noticed a significant difference in root development; plants grow more robust and healthier compared to other potting mixes I've tried.
One of the standout features of this soil is its blend of natural fertilizers. It's like giving your plants a balanced diet full of all the nutrients they need to thrive from the get-go. I've seen remarkable growth in both flowering plants and edibles, with vibrant blooms and bountiful yields.
Using FoxFarm Ocean Forest has simplified my gardening routine. I no longer have to mix in additional fertilizers or amend the soil to get it 'just right.' It's ready to use straight from the bag, saving me time and effort. This aspect alone makes it worth every penny, but when you add the results into the equation, it's an unbeatable value.
Another plus is the consistent quality. Every bag I've purchased over the years has met the same high standards, providing peace of mind that my plants are getting the best possible start.

FoxFarm Soil Feeding Schedule
Use your preferred FoxFarm potting soil when transplanting seedlings into larger containers. We recommend a two gallon size or larger.
For best results: Feed up to two times per week. Maintain a pH of 5.6 to 6.8 to prevent nutrient lockout and reduce stress on plants. Never mix pure concentrates together; always add water first. Should plants show signs of stress or color irregularities, flush your soil. When using coco-based media, flush every two weeks during the flowering cycles as coco has a tendency to retain unwanted salt residue more than peat-based soils.

love it!
so far, i’ve had 0 issues with this potting mix. it’s got far more perlite than other brand (though i still added some more for extra drainage). it’s light and fluffy. i didn’t see any bugs fly out of it or crawl around in it (even if they did - it’s a potting mix. pests happen. just make sure you check your bags before using the mix and you can take care of it before potting up your plants in it! but again, **no pests** were seen!) i potted up 6 succulents in this that needed a repot (i added bark, worm castings, and extra perlite) and i expect them to grow big, healthy and beautiful! i’ll be back with an update if this goes downhill. i don’t suspect it will. but 10/10 recommend.

I bought this soil to repot my prayer plant that was infested with gnats. The price is high compared to other soils on the market, but it’s definitely worth it. It’s a versatile soil that will fit almost any indoor plant needs because it consists of perlite, peat moss, and loam along with other great organic matters from crab and fish to earthworm castings and bat guano. Basically this soil has the full package and your plant will get all of its nutrients from their food triangle. I used the remainder of the soil to repot my majesty palm and it’s had a new frond open up since then and has not had any signs of brown tips post repotting. If anyone is also wondering, I used a self watering pot that they say is really good for majesty palms since they drink a lot of water but can often get overwatered. Upon doing my research for my majesty palm many have advised to use two different types of soil and one that’s specifically for cactus plants but this one alone did the job! About a month after repotting my prayer plant, it’s had a burst of new growth with multiple new leaves sprouting from the bottom with newer ones still opening up! I haven’t seen this much growth since I first brought the plant home about a year ago. In the pictures shows the prayer plant before and a month after repotting. I can almost say they’re growing like weeds!
The bag came in perfect condition and was not infested at all. In fact, the soil looked extremely healthy and so far I can tell it retains water very well yet holding the ability for good drainage.
