Post subject: Potting Soil for house plants

Hi. Please give me the Chinese characters and/or Pinyin for "potting soil" for house plants. And, suggestions where to purchase potting soil nearby Jing'An. Thanks.

There's a large flower/plant market out by my restaurant that sells all that stuff. The soil here is not what you are used to back home I am sure, but it does the trick.

OH, this is in Gubei near Jienhe Lu....if you want to know exactly I can find out, but there are other posts on this as well.
