Our Aroid Mix is where the good stuff comes together — Perlite for airflow, Earthworm Castings for nutrients, chunky 9cm Bark Chips for structure, and Coco Bits to hold just enough moisture. Basically, everything your aroids wish they could ask for.

What it’s perfect for

This mix is ideal for all aroids that love a chunky, breathable root environment. Think Monstera, Philodendron, Anthurium, Alocasia and anything that hates sitting in soggy soil. If it’s got thick roots and a dramatic personality, this mix is for it.

Why it works

Aroids don’t want dense, compact soil. They want space, airflow, and just enough moisture without being waterlogged. This blend creates that balance:

• Perlite keeps things light and airy

• Earthworm Castings provide a gentle, natural nutrient boost

• 9cm Bark Chips create structure and prevent compaction

• Coco Bits help retain just enough moisture so roots don’t dry out too quickly

• A touch of Activated Charcoal helps keep the mix fresh and supports a healthier root environment

How to use it

• Use as a complete potting mix straight out the bag

• Place your plant in a pot with drainage holes

• Fill around the roots with the mix and gently settle it in (don’t compact it too much)

• Water thoroughly until water runs out the bottom

When to use it

• When repotting rootbound plants

• When upgrading to a chunkier, better-draining mix

• When your current soil stays wet for too long

• Perfect for new plant setups or refreshing tired soil

Watering tips

Because this is a chunky mix, it will dry out faster than regular potting soil.

• Water when the top layer feels dry

• Don’t let it stay bone dry for too long

• Adjust based on your environment (heat, airflow, pot size)

Pro tip

If you’re moving a plant from dense soil into this mix, expect a short adjustment period. Your plant may need a little time to get used to its new airy home, but once it settles in, root growth will thank you.
