🌞 CLOSED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY 🌞

Due to the extreme heat, we will be closing for the rest of today.

With temperatures over 90°F outside and well over 100°F in some of our greenhouses, we've decided it's best to call it a day and let both our plants and staff escape the heat.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

💧 Stay cool, stay hydrated, and we'll see you tomorrow!

🌿 Reopening Friday at 8:00 AM 🌿

🌿 FoxFarm Ocean Forest vs. Happy Frog – What's the Difference? 🌿

If you've been staring at the soil wall wondering which FoxFarm mix your houseplants want, here's a quick guide! 👇

🦊 Happy Frog Potting Soil
✅ Lighter and gentler
✅ Contains beneficial microbes and mycorrhizae
✅ Great for young plants, cuttings, repotting, and plants that prefer a lighter feeding schedule
✅ Excellent choice for many common houseplants

🌊 Ocean Forest Potting Soil
✅ Richer blend with more organic nutrients
✅ Contains compost, earthworm castings, bat guano, fish meal, and more
✅ Great for larger, fast-growing plants that appreciate extra nutrition
✅ Often used when plants need a little boost after a long winter

🌿 Our Favorite Indoor Oasis Mix?
Many plant lovers combine the two! Mixing Happy Frog and Ocean Forest creates a balanced blend that provides nutrients while staying suitable for a wide variety of houseplants.

✨ Take It To The Next Level With SOL Soils Amendments!
We also carry SOL Soils amendments to help you create the perfect custom mix for your plants:

🪨 Chunky Perlite – Improves drainage and aeration
🪵 Orchid Bark – Adds structure and airflow around roots
⚫ Pumice – Long-lasting drainage that won't float to the top
🖤 Horticultural Charcoal – Helps keep soil fresh and improves drainage
🌿 LECA – Great for semi-hydro growing or added aeration in soil mixes

💡 Remember: Most tropical houseplants thrive in chunky, well-draining soil. Whether you're growing Monsteras, Philodendrons, Alocasias, Hoyas, Anthuriums, or Pothos, adding the right amendments can make all the difference.

🪴 Need help mixing the perfect blend?
Stop by Windswept Indoor Oasis and we'll help you choose the right combination of FoxFarm soils and SOL Soils amendments for your plant family's next repotting day!

The Delusional Optimist

“my husband’s gonna kill me
if I bring home another plant.”

– plant mom,
while holding
a cart full
of plants

ma’am

there are leaves touching
there is soil on the rim
one of them already has a name

she gestures vaguely
at the entire cart

“it’s basically one,”
she says

in what math
we do not know

she plans to edit later
maybe remove one
maybe two

she will remove none

i admire the confidence
the optimism
the audacity

in thinking
you’re only taking home ONE 🌿😂

legacy:
cart overflowing
logic abandoned
seatbelt required
