About the Calathea & Maranta Soil Mix:
This is a highly aerated, highly moisture-retaining mixture. The blend has gigantic quantities of small air pockets to suit the fine roots of Calathea and Maranta. The extra aeration also aids in allowing new shoots to emerge from the soil as well as creating an extra safety net against root rot. The moisture retaining elements such as Vermiculite, Lava Rock and Coco Coir mean there is less risk of accidentally under watering and causing these dramatic plants to droop or become crispy.

What Calathea and Maranta want from their soil:
Ultimately these plants need moisture. Coming from the rainforest floor, there is no such thing as a dry spell for these plants. However it is also very easy to overwater these plants, especially as they react to so many different environmental factors causing the owner to think water is the problem. To prevent this risk we made the mix extra airy, which also benefits the plants growth patten and root structures.

As with all of our Premium mixes a population of positive bacteria, mycelium and microfauna is present in the substrate to create the potted ecosystem which keeps your plant healthy! Enough nutrients for the first 2 months of growth is also in every bag.

Please Note:
-We mix and make everything to order, so appearance may vary depending on batch.
-30L mixes are packaged and sent in large white sacks.

Great fit, good quality, horrible smell
Size: X-Large, Color: Calypso Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Calypso Blue
Surprisingly decent for the low price. Love the details. Fit is good, but I sized up based on the measurements (I wear a 14 but bout the XL/16-18) and I like the looser fit if them. Would honestly rate 5 stars, but there was a HORRIFIC little fragrance pie thing stuck in the bag... I'm sure, based on how many people I walk past in the world stink of hyper-scented laundry detergent, that this is not a problem for some folks, but many people also have fragrance sensitivities, and this can be not just problematic for some, but dangerous. I had to wash these jeans 4 times before the odor went away enough for me to wear them. So that was disappointing, but otherwise, I'm a fan.

Worthy
Size: Small, Color: Calypso Blue
I have to say, I seldom receive something thru Amazon that's 100% worthy! I wear F P & AE & these look just like the model! I usually wear a M, but knowing how fp sizing is, I got the S. Fits perfect with even a bit of room. Im 5'3", 127lbs, 27 waist. Definitely great with flats, but I'm not sure yet with any other than tennis shoes. The paint splatter on mine are less than picture....no complaint here. They have a bit of stretch, I like real jeans, so I can live with it. They are soft & actually made well. Only downside to this order, Amazon made me purchased over what I wanted to, to get it by promise date, never happen & getting very common with that trick, not appreciated, so beware you may not get them on promise date

Way to short, cute, but short
Size: Medium, Color: Green Multi Combo
I would give these a 5 star but they were 3 inches to short. So cute though. Will try a large to see if that makes a difference. Im 5'7" 147lbs. Everything else was a great fit but serious highwaters

I am short and these jeans are like normal jeans for me. 5’1” and size small ordered. I love these jeans!! They are baggy and have a good stretch. They have a cute drawstring as well as a belt. Plenty of pockets. Comfy and soft denim plus zippers are good too. Recommended!!
