Indoor Plant Compost

I bought compost from Poundland last year and it was very clumpy and solid. Not sure my houseplants like it.

Has anyone bought compost sold specifically for indoor plants they would recommend or any other advice?

I bought this it rehydrated well. Recently bought some on Amazon and it wasn’t as good or easy to rehydrate but plants seem fine.

I wanted one that came in a bag with no holes so the compost was as 'clean' as it could be, in an attempt to avoid the dreaded scarrid fly. I used Westland houseplant compost with my last lot of repotting and cuttings and it has worked well. It was about a fiver from B&Q. I think I also saw it in a supermarket so worth keeping your eye out when they start getting gardening stuff in.

I also use the coconut coir, and mix it with slow release fertiliser granules. Sometimes I microwave some real compost for a little boost without anything too alive 😅
