I Realized I Had Thrown Out Over €200 In Plants Last Year Alone

 “I Never Thought I’d Be the Kind of Person Who Kills Every Plant I Buy…”

But after losing yet another plant — my third that month — something finally snapped.

By Layla Rivers, Certified Biologist & Soil Expert, a story from her client Jane


I still remember standing over the trash can, holding my once-lush Monstera… now limp, browning, and completely beyond saving.

That was the third plant I threw out in just a few weeks.

That moment hit hard.

Not just because I wasted another €25.
Not just because I’d just spent hours repotting it two months ago.
But because I actually cared.

I watered it. I gave it light. I even turned the pot every few days.
And yet… it died. Just like the last one.

At first, I blamed myself. Maybe I just wasn’t a “plant person.” Maybe I was too busy. Maybe I overwatered. Or underwatered. Or… who knows.

But deep down, I knew something didn’t add up.


“I Was Doing Everything Right… But Still Losing Plants”


I started tracking how much I’d spent on plants over the last year.

Between the replacements, repotting supplies, and new pots, I’d dropped well over €200.

For what? To throw them out a few months later?

So I started researching. I read every blog, watched plant YouTubers, even joined a few Facebook groups.

And that’s when I saw something over and over again:

“I switched to SYBASoil and haven’t lost a plant since.”


The Silent Problem Was Beneath the Surface

 

Turns out, the soil I was buying from garden centers was completely wrong.

Generic soil is basically a “one-size-fits-none” mix.

It holds too much water for cacti, dries out too fast for tropicals, and compacts into cement over time — suffocating roots and inviting pests.

SYBASoil does the opposite.

Watering becomes easier and more forgiving.

I used to panic every time I watered — was it too much? Too little? Did I just kill it?

 SYBASoil took that fear away.

Its structure holds onto the perfect amount of moisture, releasing it gradually so the roots get what they need — no more, no less. 

It’s like the soil does the thinking for you. 

Suddenly, I wasn’t second-guessing everything. I could relax… and so could my plants.

It doesn’t just feel better. It actually lasts 3–6x longer than the cheap stuff.

What no one tells you is that cheap soil dies. After 12-18 months, it compacts, loses structure, and starts choking the roots. 

That’s when the rot sets in — and the guilt. SYBASoil? I haven’t replaced a single pot since switching. It holds its shape, breathes better, and stays nutrient-rich for years.

It’s not just saving my plants — it’s saving me time, stress, and the cost of constant repotting.

It helps fight off pests — really.

You wouldn’t believe how many pest problems start in bad soil. Fungus gnats, mold, even root rot — all of it thrives in compacted, soggy messes.

SYBASoil is built differently. Its structure makes it hard for pests to settle in, and its ingredients — like activated carbon and worm castings — naturally resist infestations.

Since switching, I haven’t seen a single gnat. Not one. It’s peace of mind in a bag.


“I Thought It Was Just Expensive Soil... But It Saved My Plants (And My Wallet)”

 

I started small. One bag. One repot. One hopeful experiment.

That first plant? Still thriving.
I did the rest the next weekend — and now, I’ve gone over 7 months without losing a single plant.

No more fungus gnats. No more crunchy soil. No more guilt when a leaf yellows.

And when I did the math?

I realized that one €12 bag of SYBASoil replaced over €90 worth of dead plants, wasted time, and ruined confidence.
