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 Ficus soil. Add a small layer of Ficus mix at the bottom of the pot.
Place the plant in the pot, and slowly add Ficus soil to the sides to fill it up. Make sure that the point where the roots meet the plant is just buried under the Ficus soil.
Lightly pat the Ficus mix down into the pot. Make sure to water the Ficus mix thoroughly after repotting, as this helps settle the mix and roots down.
Ficus usually have large, bulky roots. The extra husk and perlite give the roots the space they need. Added activated carbon detoxifies the roots from rot and mould problems. Combine this with extra added horticultural sand for a denser and better draining mix and you have yourself the perfect Ficus mix.
The ficus contains a large number of species ranging from shrubs to vines & trees. Most of these are native to the tropical areas of East Asia. They are commonly referred to as figs. The ficus comes from a substrate that drains relatively quickly, the environment however is usually moist. This ficus mix mimics that environment
Most ficus plants enjoy bright light, however, watch out for direct sunlight as that can burn their leaves. Most ficus also cannot take low temperatures or cold winds. Be sure to keep the temperature above 15°C.
Ficus prefers relatively high humidity. If you do live in a dry area, be sure to mist your plant every now and then. Do wait for the top of the ficus mix of the plant to dry out before watering again. They do not like to have wet roots. Ficus are rapid growers and require a steady supply of nutrients.
The most common issue with Ficus is the loss of leaves, there can be many reasons for this. It is a reaction to stress. The most common reasons include over- and underwatering of the ficus mix, low humidity and too little light. Try to place your ficus in a brighter spot and spray it down if leaves do drop off.
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.

Check out this pot volume calculator tool to calculate how much Ficus mix you need.
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!

Mon ficus benjamina qui me vient de ma mere perdait de plus en plus de feuilles.
Je l'ai rempoté dans le meme pot deja gros ,oté la vieille terre en utilisant ficus mix.
Au bout d'un mois il perd moins de feuilles mais ne crois pas (encore j'espère)
Utilisé il y a peu de temps pour mon pilea, j'attends de voir comment il va évoluer. Vu la qualité des terreaux, je ne suis pas inquiète.
The soil is really of premium quality, basically this is Terra Preta, the magical soil that can turn regular gardens into rainforests! The charcoal and porous rock hold on to water so that the roots can then extract the water when needed. The worm castings give optimal feed, while the coconut fibres allow for air and good flow / drainage. Our ficus is already super happy, just two weeks after repotting and adding in this amazing specialist soil. The ficus was suffering and needed a drastic change or upgrade in pot size and soil type. New leaves have now started growing and the existing leaves are looking healthier than ever. The repotting into a larger pot did of course help as well, as did the cleaning of the leaves with seaweed nutrient and water and neem oil. I look forward to seeing how the Ficus will appreciate the SyBotanica soil mix but the first signs are excellent.
Mon dypsis va vraiment mieux depuis que je l’ai rempoté dans ce terreau, qui est de super qualité. Merci beaucoup 🙏🏻
