A person's hands are shown repotting a plant into a terracotta pot, with potting soil spilled on the table. The image features the title 'potting soil secrets that plant nerds refuse to share'.
Several small terracotta pots are filled with dark potting mix. An overlay explains that 'potting mix' and 'potting soil' are not the same, with potting soil compacting and inviting pests.
A hand holds a small green trowel filled with dark potting mix, scooping it from a light blue container. The text states 'Perlite is fine. Pumice is better' for drainage without over-drying roots.
