What is potting soil?

Potting soil is a specially formulated mix used for planting in containers or pots. It typically contains a blend of lightweight organic materials like peat moss, bark, and perlite to promote healthy root development and proper drainage. Unlike natural garden soil, potting soil is sterilized to reduce pests and diseases, making it ideal for indoor or patio plants.
