DIY Calathea & Maranta Soil Kit | Fast EU shipping | Coco fibre base | Ideal for prayer plants & humidity lovers

Summary: Specially designed to reduce crispy edges and boost lush foliage, this moisture-retentive yet breathable mix mimics tropical forest floors—perfect for Calathea and Maranta in European homes.

🧪 Composition & Ingredients

  • Coco Fibre – ~40% (airy, fibrous base that retains moisture while improving structure)
  • Perlite Grains – ~25% (adds airflow and prevents compaction)
  • Vermiculite – ~25% (boosts water retention and humidity support)
  • Activated Charcoal – small handful (keeps substrate fresh and balanced)
  • Lava Rock (Pumice) – small handful (improves structure and drainage)

💨 Drainage & Aeration

Balanced airflow prevents compact soil while still holding enough structure for delicate roots. Coco fibre creates a looser, more breathable texture than traditional cocopeat, while perlite and lava rock ensure roots can breathe without drying out too quickly.

💧 Moisture Retention

High moisture retention from coco fibre and vermiculite helps prevent dry, crispy leaf edges—one of the most common issues in German apartments with dry indoor air.

🔄 Use Cases & Compatibility

Perfect for Calathea, Maranta, Ctenanthe, and Stromanthe. Ideal for indoor plants in European homes where humidity fluctuates throughout the year.

📦 Format & Quantity Options

Pre-measured to create approx. 3–5L of substrate. Suitable for 2–3 medium plants or several smaller prayer plants.

♻️ Sustainability & Safety

Peat-free and environmentally friendly. Coco fibre is a renewable resource derived from coconut husks. All ingredients are safe to handle and suitable for homes with pets.

📅 Storage & Shelf Life

Store in a sealed container in a dry place. Best used within 12 months. Lightly rehydrate coco fibre before use if it becomes fully dry.

🛠 How to Use

Mixing Instructions: Use the following ratios by volume (e.g., scoops or cups):

  • 1.5 parts Coco Fibre
  • 1 part Perlite
  • 1 part Vermiculite
  • Small handful Activated Charcoal
  • Small handful Lava Rock

Mix thoroughly and use in pots with drainage holes. Keep soil lightly moist at all times and avoid letting it fully dry out.

Just what I needed
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 100/Lotion
My skin is so sensitive to the sun's rays that I must use 100% spf for good results. Banan Boat delivers and the price is right!

Great but some shine
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 100/Lotion, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 100/Lotion
Sunscreen is a very important part of the skincare routine. Who cares about the results you get from the rest of your routine for your hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, etc if you aren't doing anything to protect it from the UV damage. This sunscreen offers that protection and seems to do it well which is the most important function of a sunscreen. The experience of the sunscreen for me was also positive. The sunscreen comes out white but applies clear which you would expect from an organic sunscreen. It has that stereotypical sunscreen scent but I personally love it and it psychologically ignites nostalgia for the days spent at the beach. It reminds me of the time going to the beach, making sandcastles and eating popsicles as a kid. However, I know some find this unpleasant. For those in this camp, I would not recommend this. Outside of this, however, the feel is a bit greasy at first but goes away after some time. One minor issue I find is that is does have some shine. Some people might like it but I find it is a bit much but not as bad as others on the market. In the photos you can see what it looks like before and after application. You might not be able to tell from the photos but there is some shine. Others will most likely be able to tell that you have something on. One thing I really want to point out is that this is a chemical sunscreen that uses organic UV filters meaning they are carbon containing compounds but that does not make it bad. Clean beauty brands tend to villainize these as they "contain chemicals" or are "toxic" but these claims can be highly disputable. For one, a lot of things are chemicals. Water is a chemical but you wouldn't avoid using products with that in it. Also, a company would not allow the use of actually toxic ingredients in a skincare product. There are clearly banned substances listed by the FDA that will not make their way to your sunscreen and they also protect consumers from large exposure by restricting the quantity an ingredient can be used. The heat produced from chemical sunscreens are also minuscule compared to that of physical (or inorganic) sunscreen. These are just a couple of reasons that chemical sunscreens are very much safe (as far as we know it) according to science. I'm sorry for the small rant. I know that most of the people who see this review are looking at it because they know chemical sunscreens are not the devil as they are looking at this product but I was hoping to dissuade people who adhere to the clean beauty methods from being swept up from the fear-mongering marketing.

I am an adult tennis player and have been using this specific Banana Boat for Kids sunscreen for years. It is not runny or oily and does not sting eyes. I recommend it.

It won’t stay in your eyes but it makes your face look white. I’m looking for a Sunscreen that is trans parent and won’t sting.
