Duspro 6-in-1 Terrarium Soil Mix, 8.8 L Ready-to-Use Substrate

DUSPRO 6-in-1 Terrarium Soil Mix is an 8 QT ready-to-use growing medium for planted terrariums, made to support balanced moisture and airflow in closed and semi-closed setups.

• Six-part blend of coco coir, peat moss, pine bark, perlite, pumice and zeolite — combines key substrate materials in one mix.
• Coco coir and peat moss help retain moisture — useful for moisture-loving terrarium plants.
• Pine bark, perlite and pumice create air spaces — helping keep the mix loose rather than overly compacted.
• Designed for closed and semi-closed terrariums — made for setups where moisture and airflow need balancing.
• Zeolite with mineral components helps maintain soil structure — supporting less settling and compaction over time.
• Each batch is checked before packing — supporting a more consistent mix texture.

Terrarium planting calls for a growing medium that can hold moisture while leaving space for airflow. This premixed substrate is made for small indoor gardens, moss arrangements and planted terrariums, helping simplify setup without measuring and combining separate soil components. It can be spread and layered inside a terrarium container, with watering adjusted to suit the plants and whether the enclosure is open, closed or semi-closed.

Can I use DUSPRO Terrarium Soil Mix straight from the bag?

Yes, DUSPRO Terrarium Soil Mix is premixed for direct use in terrarium planting. The 8 QT bag brings six substrate components together, so there is no need to buy and combine those materials separately before planting.

• Ready to spread and layer in a terrarium container.
• Made to help reduce preparation time and mixing mess.

How does this terrarium mix balance moisture and airflow?

Coco coir and peat moss help maintain moisture, while pine bark, perlite and pumice add natural air spaces through the blend. This loose texture is designed to help reduce compacted or overly wet conditions and make the substrate easier to distribute in a container.

• Suitable for use with drainage materials, horticultural charcoal, sphagnum moss or live moss.
• Zeolite and mineral components help the soil structure resist settling over time.

Which plants and terrarium setups is it made for?

DUSPRO Terrarium Soil Mix is suitable for small moisture-loving plants such as Fittonia, Selaginella, Baby’s Tears, mini ferns, Pilea, selected mini Peperomia, small terrarium Begonias and decorative moss. It is intended for planted terrariums and miniature indoor gardens; adjust watering to the plants and the enclosure style.

• Suitable for small and larger planted terrarium arrangements.
• Terrarium container, plants and decorative items are not included.
• The mix is also identified for use as potting soil for succulents.

How much soil does the 8 QT bag provide?

The 8 QT dry-volume size fits about eight 6-inch (15.24 cm) pots. A 4 QT size is also available and fits about four 6-inch (15.24 cm) pots, giving you a choice for smaller terrariums, larger projects or multiple plantings.

• Choose the bag size based on the number of pots or the scale of your planting project.
• Each batch is checked before packing to support consistent texture.
