Every plant is carefully packed by our small, plant-loving Bristol team using protective, mostly plastic-free packaging.

Occasionally, you may find reused bubble wrap – this has been donated to us, and we encourage you to reuse it too.

Orders are usually packed and dispatched within 2–4 working days. We may occasionally delay dispatch during periods of extreme weather to protect your plants. We always prioritise plant health over speed of delivery.


Delivery is £4.99 for any number of items, or free on orders over £60. We deliver across the UK only.

We also offer local, bike-powered delivery in Bristol for £4.99 via Pedal Collective, a gentler option for plants and the planet.

We believe in paying people fairly, that’s why we’ve been a Real Living Wage Employer from the very beginning. We’re an independent Bristol business, packing every order ourselves.

Supporting us means supporting fair work.

Get just the right amount of Soil Ninja’s specialist soil blends, available to buy by the litre scoop both in-store and online. Ideal for repotting, propagation, terrariums, and topping up your houseplants without needing to commit to a large bag.

If shopping in-store, please bring your own litre container where possible to help us cut down on packaging waste. If you don’t have one, we can supply your soil in a recyclable brown paper bag — but as these bags will begin to break down if left damp, we recommend using the soil quickly or decanting it into a sealed container at home.


Available Blends:

  • Cacti & Succulent Blend
  • Monstera & Philodendron Blend
  • Terrarium Blend
  • Calathea & Maranta Blend
  • Fine Semi-Hydro Mix
  • Ficus Blend
  • Anthurium & Orchid Blend
  • Alocasia Blend

Repotting Soil

The blend is well-draining yet retains just enough moisture. My plant adjusted quickly and looks healthier than ever. Great quality mix, ideal for ficus varieties. Definitely recommend for successful repotting and plant care.

Helped revive my ZZ plant

I bought this soil to revive my struggling ZZ plant, and it worked wonders. The mix had excellent drainage and aeration, perfect for preventing further root rot. Fantastic quality soil that truly saved my plant. Highly recommend for any plant recovery needs!

Calathea and Maranta Blend / 1 Litre
Great soil conveniently sold by the cup

We bought a couple of cute little plants to put in some extra pots, and we needed just a little soil. Sprouts conveniently sells soil by the cup, so we could purchase as much as we needed, and we don't have a giant bag lying around. Sprouts can also recommend which soil to use.
