Using the mix is easy! start with removing as much of the old soil as possible. Gently squeeze the pot while holding it sideways to loosen up the plant. Run the roots under lukewarm tap water to remove the last pieces and bits.
Also, make sure to remove any dead foliage that may still be on the plant using scissors. Now your plant is ready for its fresh Calathea & Maranta soil. Add a small layer of Calathea & Maranta mix at the bottom of the pot.
Place the plant in the pot, and slowly add Calathea & Maranta soil to the sides to fill it up. Make sure that the point where the roots meet the plant is just buried under the Calathea & Maranta soil.
Lightly pat the Calathea & Maranta mix down into the pot. Make sure to water the Calathea & Maranta mix thoroughly after repotting, as this helps settle the mix and roots down.
The Calathea & Maranta mix has both perlite and vermiculite, allowing ample drainage while still retaining some moisture in the vermiculite. This helps with keeping the soil evenly moist. The root system will grow healthier and larger, and it reduces the need of having to water the plant too often, leaving you with more time to admire your plants!
Calathea & Maranta originate from the south-American jungles, they are used to survive under the canopy of leaves from larger plants & trees. They do well in little sunlight as they are used to this environment. The jungle floor has a moist & rich substrate full of nutrients from fallen leaves & other waste. The Calathea mix mimics this environment
Tip! As Calathea & Maranta like to stay moist, use a plastic or ceramic pot. Clay & other types of pots are porous, meaning they breathe out moisture. Plastic & ceramic contain moisture better.
Calathea & maranta can be fussy, they are similar in care to alocasia plants. Bright indirect light, constantly moist soil, and warm temperatures will ensure healthy and pretty foliage. They can become too wet, so make sure your plant has ample drainage as well.
If the pot is differently shaped (Square, oval, e.t.c.), the calculations might not be accurate. You can also check out the plant pots product pages to check their total volume.

The nutrients in SYBASoil will run out in ~6 months on average. We recommend refeeding by removing the top part of the soil and adding 10-20% of the volume with fresh worm castings.
You can store SYBASoil for about 2 years. Make sure to store it cool, dark and closed off. The effectiveness of the nutrients can degrade over the years. Simply add some fresh worm castings to give the soil new life.
We recommend repotting once any of these things happen:
- You see roots growing out of the bottom of the pot
- The soil dries very quickly between watering
- The plant is top-heavy and wants to fall over
- Roots are pushing the plant up and out of the container
- Every 1 to 2 years
Our packaging can be recycled at your local plastic recycling facility.
You can also re-use it for storage, or leave a little soil and use it as a propagation box!
Water only when the top 2-3cm of the soil is dried out. You can test this out by poking your finger in the soil to feel around.
Do not forget to keep the soil moist! If the soil dries out completely the plant will suffer

Nach 3 Monaten kann ich ganz ehrlich sagen, dass ich wirklich absolut begeistert bin. Calatheas haben ja nicht grad den besten Ruf, aber mit dem Substrat geht es meinen besser als je zuvor. Damit ist die Pflege super easy geworden und ich muss kaum was machen, damit es ihnen gut geht.
De grond ziet erg goed uit. Je ziet en voelt dat je kwaliteit in huis hebt gehaald. Mijn lepelplant is een beetje aan het sukkelen. Ik verwacht dat hij over een maand of twee een revival meemaakt.
Après 1 mois d'utilisation avec le substrat de sybotanica pour maranta, anthurium et autres plantes mes plantes s'épanouissent.
Bien drainant, aéré et légers, chaques plantes évoluent très bien.
Je recommande vivement les différents substrats😊
Merci pour vos envois rapides et bien emballés
Ma plante se porte super bien pour l'instant emballage parfait très rapide. Je recommande
Ich habe zwei Maranthen in diese Erde getopft und sie scheinen sich wohl zu fühlen in ihrem neuen Substrat - meine Maranta leuconeura tricolor hat sich sogar dazu entschlossen, noch ein paar Blüten auszubilden! 🙂
Habe meine Calanthea vor einigen Tagen umgetopft. Bis jetzt ist noch kein Wachstum vonstatten gegangen. Ich muss abwarten.
