What’s included in The Happy Houseplant Kit and who is it for?
The kit includes 8L Chunky Potting Soil, 1L GreenSpace Liquid Fertiliser (NPK 4-3-3), and 75g Root Roids OG (beneficial microbes). It's great for beginners who want a foolproof routine and for experienced growers who want an easy, all-round indoor plant care system.
Which plants work best with The Happy Houseplant Kit?
The kit is ideal for most leafy houseplants—like monstera, pothos, philodendrons, and peace lilies. It also suits aroids especially well. For succulents or cacti, the mix may be too moisture-retentive without adjustments.
How do I use The Happy Houseplant Kit when repotting?
Repot into the Chunky Potting Soil, mix Root Roids OG into the root zone, then water in well. Start using the GreenSpace Liquid Fertiliser once the plant is actively growing. You can also top-dress or fertilise without repotting if needed.
How do I know if my plant needs repotting before using the kit?
Look for signs like roots circling the pot, soil that stays soggy or dries too fast, poor growth, or water running straight through. If the plant is stressed from a move, wait a week or two before repotting.
What’s special about the Chunky Potting Soil in the kit?
It’s designed to boost airflow and drainage while reducing compaction. It’s great for plants that dislike “wet feet” and helps prevent root rot. Most people don’t need to add extra bark or perlite—it’s already chunky and breathable.
How should I water when using the Chunky Potting Soil?
Water thoroughly until you see drainage, then wait until the mix has dried out before watering again. It dries faster than standard potting mix, so water based on feel—not a schedule.
What is GreenSpace Liquid Fertiliser and how often should I use it?
It’s a balanced NPK 4-3-3 liquid fertiliser designed for leafy growth and plant health. Feed every 2 weeks during active growth. Reduce or pause feeding in winter if growth slows. Don’t overdo it—consistent light feeding is best.
What is Root Roids OG and how do I use it?
Root Roids OG contains beneficial microbes to support root development and nutrient uptake. Mix it in when planting, or apply to the top layer and water in. It’s great after repotting, during stress, or as an occasional booster.
Can I use Root Roids OG and GreenSpace Fertiliser at the same time?
Yes—they work well together. Just avoid overloading your plant with heavy applications. A light, steady routine is better than large doses all at once.
Is The Happy Houseplant Kit safe for indoor use, pets, and kids?
Yes—it’s made for indoor plant care. Used as directed, it's safe around people and pets. Store fertiliser and soil components out of reach, and don’t let pets dig in the soil or chew treated plants.
What pots work best with The Happy Houseplant Kit?
Use pots with drainage holes. The chunky soil needs room to drain properly. Skip the rock layer—just use a good pot + this soil mix. Be cautious with self-watering pots—let them dry occasionally so roots can breathe.
Will The Happy Houseplant Kit help with yellowing leaves or brown tips?
It can help when the cause is poor soil or nutrition. But yellow or brown tips are usually from overwatering, inconsistent care, or low humidity. Fix those first, then use the kit to support healthy growth.
Can The Happy Houseplant Kit help prevent fungus gnats?
Chunky Potting Soil dries more evenly, which helps reduce gnat issues. Still, don’t keep the surface constantly wet, and avoid standing water in saucers. Occasional drying between waterings is key.
Can I reuse old potting mix and just add the kit components?
Only if the old mix is still healthy. If it’s compacted, smells bad, or stays soggy, it’s time to replace. The kit works best when paired with fresh, breathable soil.
What’s the best routine for beginners using The Happy Houseplant Kit?
Repot into Chunky Potting Soil, add Root Roids OG, water well, and start fertilising with GreenSpace every 2 weeks during growth season. Water based on dryness, not a schedule. Consistency beats perfection.
