The mix your aroids actually want. Molly’s Aroid Mix is a chunky, soil-free potting blend designed for tropical houseplants that hate soggy roots. This well-aerated mix drains fast, resists compaction, and keeps oxygen flowing—helping plants like Monstera, Philodendron, Alocasia, and Anthurium thrive indoors. Proudly made in the USA, it comes in a resealable, recyclable bag to stay fresh between uses.

Ingredients

Over 20 organic + mineral components, pH-balanced and pest-free.

  • Orchid bark (fir), coir fiber & chips
  • Expanded clay, perlite, horticultural charcoal
  • Canadian sphagnum peat moss
  • Worm castings, calcitic & dolomitic limestone
  • Beneficial fungi (Rhizophagus irregularis) & bacteria (Bacillus pumilus)
  • Natural nutrients + wetting agent

Benefits

  • Stops root rot & yellow leaves – Drains quickly, resists compaction, and keeps roots from drowning.
  • Cleaner than soil – Gnat-resistant and free of fertilizers, pests, and diseases.
  • Builds stronger plants – Mycorrhizae + microbes extend root systems, improve nutrient uptake, and boost natural defenses.
  • Lasts longer – Breaks down slowly, meaning fewer repots, less plant stress, and more savings.

FAQs

1. How is Molly’s Aroid Mix different from typical big-box soils?

The difference comes down to structure and water management. Most mass-market soils are made of fine particles that compact quickly, holding excess moisture around roots. While that might work outdoors, it can be disastrous in pots, where poor aeration and waterlogging lead to root rot and declining plant health.

Molly’s Aroid Mix is intentionally built for container plants:

  • Drainage without drought – it holds just enough water while letting excess drain away.
  • Airflow where roots need it most – large, chunky ingredients create pockets for oxygen and nutrient movement.
  • Balanced chemistry – pH levels are optimized for nutrient uptake.
  • Cleaner than soil – free of pests, pathogens, and soil-borne diseases.
  • Stable structure – supports roots and anchors the plant without suffocating it.

2. Do I need to add anything to Molly’s Aroid Mix?

No additional ingredients are required. The blend is complete on its own, combining organic materials and inert minerals that cover a plant’s essential needs. It includes beneficial fungi and bacteria that extend root systems and improve nutrient absorption—features you won’t find in typical off-the-shelf soil. While you can experiment with mixing in additives, the formula is designed to stand alone as a full-service potting medium.

3. What plants is Molly’s Aroid Mix suited for?

This mix is designed for any indoor plant that benefits from a chunky, well-aerated substrate. That includes many of the most popular tropicals and houseplants—Monstera, Philodendron, Alocasia, Anthurium, Fiddle Leaf Fig, Calathea, Aglaonema, and more. By resisting compaction and encouraging airflow around roots, it supports stronger growth and reduces the stress common to container-grown plants. If you’re unsure about a specific plant, reach out—most indoor species that dislike soggy soil will do well in this mix.

4. How often should I replace the mix?

On average, once a year. That timing aligns with normal repotting cycles as plants outgrow their containers. Molly’s Aroid Mix is made with ingredients that decompose slowly, so it can remain effective for longer periods. When refreshing, don’t worry about removing every piece from the roots—material that clings to the root ball can continue to provide structure and nutrients in the new pot.

5. What’s the best way to water with this mix?

Think “thorough but infrequent.” Most plants in Molly’s Aroid Mix will need water every 1–2 weeks, depending on the plant type, pot size, and your environment. Because the mix drains rapidly, it’s important to let water evenly saturate the pot before flowing through the bottom.

For deeper hydration and healthier root growth, occasional bottom watering is recommended: place the pot in a shallow tray of water for 30–60 minutes. This allows the mix to wick moisture upward, ensuring the entire root zone is rehydrated and encouraging roots to grow downward.

6. How much does one bag cover?

A 5-quart bag goes further than you’d expect:

  • Roughly 10–12 small (4") pots
  • 6–8 medium (5") pots
  • 4–6 larger (6") pots

Because the ingredients decompose slowly, the mix lasts longer than standard soils, making it both a premium and cost-effective option for your plant collection.

Works great on bullet coffee!!
Color: Lux Alpha Black, Size: Rechargeable Z1 Motor Max
I am really pleased with this frother! Frothers I have used in the past didn’t mix my decaf coffee, 2% milk, and MCT oil as thoroughly as I like (oil and coffee separated). This frother blends everything AND I get a nice layer of frothy milk on top!!! Charge lasts a long and the froth can be submerged all the way up to the button!!!

Great cordless frother
Color: Black
This milk frother has been a great addition to my daily coffee routine. It comes with multiple useful accessories, which make it versatile for different drinks and easy to clean afterward. The motor is impressively powerful, producing rich, creamy foam in seconds. Exactly what you’d expect from a quality electric frother, which typically delivers fast, consistent results with minimal effort. I also really appreciate the convenient charging base, which keeps everything organized and ready to go without dealing with loose cords. What stood out most, though, was the customer service. I had a minor issue with the buttons, and they quickly sent a replacement with no hassle. Overall, a reliable, well-designed product backed by excellent support.

Best frother for many reasons
Color: Black
I spent a long time searching for the right frother because of how much I would be using it. I make coffees, teas and protein shakes daily. I needed something more high powered than normal. Ive had others that just dont get the job done and/or dont last. (the 3 others I tried were all free gifts with a purchase of coffees or teas online. So now that i was paying for one, i wanted something better with all the good features) Its has 3 attachments for every possible use (if u dont know what the hook one is for, its great for protein drinks or any heavier powders u need to mix) but honestly all 3 attachments work for heavier powders due to the stronger motor. U can use it for cooking as well. The stand charger is super convenient and space saving. Multiple power/level settings. Definitely a quality item but with a bargain price. The cherry on top is the customer service. They're great! responsive and very helpful. Im definitely happy with this purchase and will now be looking into see what other products they have to offer. 🙂

Excellent customer service and good product.
Color: Black
Really like this frother a lot, with the attachments. Great price and works well. That being said, it suddenly stopped working after a few months, to my dismay. However, upon reaching out to the company, they replaced it very quickly. So I do recommend it!

Great frother, dumb charger
Color: Black
Works well. I got this to replace my battery powered milk frother from IKEA. I use it to make a protein shake every day. I just take a 16oz glass, fill it halfway with milk, add a scoop of protein powder, and mix it with the frother, using a combo of low and medium power, but realistically, low is all you need for that purpose. Been using it everyday for the past almost month since I got it, haven't had to recharge it and it's still working great. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the charger is micro USB. Not using USB-C in 2025 is honestly just insulting. Change that and you have a 5-star product.
