Soil Media

Soil media refers to the mixture of materials used to grow plants in containers or artificial environments. It typically includes components like organic matter (such as peat or compost), mineral particles (like sand or perlite), and other additives to enhance aeration, water retention, and nutrient availability. Unlike natural soil found outdoors, soil media are designed to provide optimal conditions for plant growth in pots, green walls, or hydroponic systems. Proper soil media support healthy root development, facilitate nutrient uptake, and help manage moisture, ensuring plants thrive in controlled or limited-space environments.
