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.
