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.

Easy to use for older folks - and FUN.....???
Size: 100ft, Color: Black
Love the light weight. I can turn the spigot just a bit and the hose will grow in length as i walk around to the front of my house. It's just enough to get a good drenching without knocking my plants around. However, the nylon covering snags easily, and I can see that I may need to replace the hose quicker than I had hoped. I'll probably get the same brand of i have to do so. The sprayer is decent quality, and its multi-functions are handy. I kind of like watching it shrink as I empty it and wrap it up. Never thought a garden hose would actually add a little fun to the chore!

Nice, light hose with nozzle
Size: 25ft, Color: Black
Nice short expandable hose. I had a longer expandable one which got a big leak. So I bought this shorter one since I only use it to water the plants on the patio. So far, it works great; but people have to know that short means short. The nozzle fits this hose; my other nozzle is too big. So having the short hose and the right nozzle in one package works for me.

Love this light weight flexi hose!
Size: 50ft, Color: Black
Great hose. This is my third because the only downside is that the area connected to the spigot can crimp and ultimately leak. It’s easy to keep that from happening if you are the only one using the hose. But if others, like your kids or a garden helper use the hose, they don’t always recognize that.

Weak but excellent please read.
Size: 50ft, Color: Black
Breaks a lot, but Is 100% convenient. My third annual purchase. Beats rubbing stuff off of twisted rubber hoses. Darned if u do. Darned if u don't. A 5-10 yr version one of these will outsell the entire market.

A lot of quality filters for little cost.
Style: 16x20x1, Style: 16x20x1
Been using these for months, great quality. No issues what so ever. I compared price to the 2 main big box stores and this is the best for your bucks. You get a lot more and they are of the same quality. I used to get mine from a big box store with military discount of 10% and this is still a better deal. They fit exactly like the filter I took out, so size is the same. I live FL and run my AC constantly. These last about 2-3 months each. They do no lose their rigidity. They are built with very high quality material. They catch a lot of dust, you can see how dirty they are when replaced. PROS - great quality and last 2-3 months in my AC running constantly - you get a lot for your money when compared to the big box stores - catch a lot of dirt, filters are really dirty after use - very rigid which makes it easy to installation - reinforced wire mesh CONS - None
