Our castings are produced in a completely controlled environment. This results in a product that is pure, consistent, and teaming with beneficial microorganisms and nutrients. Because our worm castings are so pure, a little goes a long way.

For use on all plants, including vegetables, ornamentals, shrubs and grasses. These are the same worm castings we use in the Chunky and Fine Aroid mixes we offer here on Shoppy.

We’ve used these worm castings for years on both our regular houseplants as well as the rare and exotic tropicals we propagate here at our nursery and the results have always been amazing. Simply apply up to a ¼” layer on top of the soil and you’re good to go for months at a time, eliminating the frequent application rates associated with using synthetic fertilizers.

Save yourself time and money by using our pure, Premium Worm Castings!
