Aroid potting mix is a chunky, fast-draining soil designed to improve airflow, drainage, and root health for tropical plants like Monstera, Philodendron, Anthurium, and other indoor houseplants. Unlike dense potting soil, chunky mixes prevent compaction and reduce the risk of root rot by keeping oxygen around the roots. Chunky potting mixes use larger particles like coco chunks, perlite, and organic materials to create air pockets inside the soil. This improves drainage while still holding usable moisture, which helps prevent overwatering and supports stronger root systems. This type of soil is ideal for any tropical houseplant that naturally grows in loose, well-draining environments. A chunky substrate helps replicate those jungle floor conditions indoors.
Every bag is an all-natural, just-add-water blend built specifically for aroids:
- Chunky Coco Coir: A natural, airy material that promotes excellent aeration and drainage, safeguarding against over-watering and root rot while fostering robust root development.
- Coco Pith: Exceptional in maintaining moisture balance, ensuring roots are well hydrated without being waterlogged.
- Perlite: A volcanic glass derivative, crucial for creating air pockets in the soil, aiding in healthy root expansion.
- Diatomaceous Earth: A natural source of silica, this aids in soil aeration and drainage and contributes to stronger plant cell walls, enhancing the plant's ability to absorb nutrients.It also serves as a natural pest deterrent.
- Worm Castings: These natural fertilizers enrich the soil with essential nutrients, enhancing plant growth and soil structure.
- Compost: The organic compost acts as a natural fertilizer, boosting plant vigor and soil fertility.
- Rooting Supplements: Specifically chosen to encourage robust root systems, leading to healthier and more resilient plants.
- Azomite: Provides over 70 trace minerals, ensuring a well rounded nutrient profile for your plants.
- Premium 6-2-4 NPK Fertilizer: A balanced nutrient mix to support all stages of your plants growth.
- Humic Acids: Improve nutrient uptake and promote vigorous growth, making your plants greener and lusher.
- Concentraled Microbial Root Enhancer with Mycorrhizae, Bacteria, and Trichoderma: These beneficial microbes form a symbiotic relationship with plant rools, enhancing nutrient absorption and promoting overall plant health.
Use Instructions:
- Add Rainbows & Unicorns potting mix so the plant is positioned at the correct level
- Gently fill in around the roots with the mix, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top of the pot
- Water well with distilled water and allow for drainage. Add additional mix if settling occurs
