WHY USE AROID POTTING MIX?

The most common mistake committed by houseplant growers is overwatering.  Excess water trapped in the pot often leads to fungal infection and rotting of the roots. In some cases, root rot is irreversible,  eventually killing the plant. Ordinary garden soil becomes compacted over time, restricting the growth of roots. Aroids generally need a well-draining potting media that allow unrestricted growth of roots.

WHAT’S IN OUR AROID MIX?  

PREMIUM ACACIA LEAVES AND HYDROTON (Chunky Premium Mix only)

Acacia leaves are an excellent organic soil amendment that are known to have anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.  They are also known to contain rich levels of Nitrogen, providing additional source of nutrients for plants as they decay.  Hydroton Clay Pebbles aids in drainage but can also store extra moisture to ensure that the potting mix will not dry out completely.

AGED AND FERMENTED COCO CHIPS 

Similar to bark chips, coco chunks allow excess water to drain well. But coco chunks retain and absorb more moisture/ water than bark chips, so that your plants’ roots don’t completely dry out.  Coco chunks therefore provide a well-balanced moisture retention and drainage capability.   

MORE ORGANIC NUTRIENTS

Your plants will derive nutrients from the rich mixture of high quality organic materials found in our potting mix, specifically composted coco peat, vermicast, neem cake powder,  carbonized rice hull (CRH) and aged coco peat.  Vermicast is a good source of complete nutrients that help your plant grow bigger, and establish roots faster.
