vermicompost 2.1lb bag. organic!!!

Whether you want to create a seed starter mix for your potted plants or simply add a bit more nutrients to the plants you already have growing, vermicompost is an awesome choice.

There are three ways that you can use vermicompost in your potted plants:

  1. to make a seed mix
  1. as a topdressing
  1. or to improve potting soil texture

Each one of these uses come with their own benefits and techniques.

If your soil has too much sand or clay, it will either:

  • dry out too fast
  • or retain too much water.

Both of these scenarios will harm your plants.

Even though you cannot use vermicompost as the primary soil for your potted plants, you can add it to poor potting soil to improve its texture.

Simply mix potting soil with vermicompost in a 2:1 ratio.

This ratio will allow for the potted plants to get the nutrients and support they need while maintaining the right amount of moisture in between waterings.

Some people even recommend having equal parts of potting soil and vermicompost. It is ultimately up to you. The only danger of having too much vermicompost is the plant not having enough support.

Just make sure that the soil has a sturdy enough texture to keep the plant standing tall.

To mix the vermicompost and soil:

  1. Simply get a large bucket or tub. Mix the two parts together.
  1. Ensure that the potting soil is completely dry before adding any vermicompost.


You cannot use vermicompost by itself in potted plants. The danger of only using vermicompost isn’t burning the plants, Instead, vermicompost does not have the correct texture needed to support potted plants.
