About the Monstera & Philodendron Soil Mix:
This blend combines the perfect levels of chunky aeration with medium moisture retention. Our Coarse elements of Bark, Zeolite, Lava Rock and Perlite mean there are plenty of air chambers in the mix perfectly suited to the medium/thick roots of Monstera and Philodendron. As tropical plants they do prefer medium moisture retention in our homes, meaning the mix will stay lightly moist for about a little over a week, and will slowly dry off to allow your plant time to get used to a short dry period before re-watering.

What Monstera and Philodendron want from their soil mix:
The one important rule for a Monstera and Philodendron soil mix, is that they want a chunky mix. A good soil for these plants provides plenty of aggregate and bark for roots to crawl around as they grow. The mixture should retain moisture evenly throughout the pot and dry out steadily in a medium period of time (1.5 - 2 weeks) whilst also being very well draining. These plants like moisture but not muddy soil. The aggregates in our blend helps to create a loose mix which avoids dense soil conditions, which is likely to lead to root rot. Monstera and Philodendron also do not mind being left in dry substrates for medium amounts of time (1 - 1.5 weeks in bone dry soil). However if left for too long in dry soil their roots can wilt and become non-functional,  increasing risk of root rot after the next watering. As Monstera and Philodendron are very susceptible to root rot, we have provided multiple levels of protection against accidentally overwatering. 

As with all of our Premium mixes a population of positive bacteria, mycelium and microfauna is present in the substrate to create the potted ecosystem which keeps your plant healthy! Enough nutrients for the first 2 months of growth is also in every bag along with our specialist nutrient storage component, Zeolite.

Please Note:
-We mix and make everything to order, so appearance may vary depending on batch.
-30L mixes are packaged and sent in large white sacks.

Love this water! Here's why!
Size: 42.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 12), Number of Items: 12
I am pretty picky about bottled water. I will only drink black capped water as white caps make me very ill and blue caps don't have the taste or quality of black caps (the color of caps indicate how it is collected and process). Of all the black caps, Essentia is my favorite brand. I love the strong, sturdy bottles, and prefer the larger size to help me remember to hydrate. Most people don't feel like water has affects like coffee or energy drinks, but this water is clean and provides me with a boost of alertness. In terms of the value, I think it's definitely overpriced. I don't believe water should come at such a high price, yet I still pay for this brand because of the taste, the enjoyment, my energy levels and how clean it tastes going down. And it doesn't make me ill. If you're new to understanding water, pH balances, and how water is different based on how it is processed, give this a try and experience the difference of it's effectiveness.

Good price. Love this brand of water - no after taste. We even use the water in our ice maker :) as well as making lemon and cucumber water for hydration and a refresher.

My Son's Favorite
Size: 42.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 12), Number of Items: 12
My son loves Essentia, and it's the way I can get him to drink water instead of sugary drinks. Essentia puts together an attractive package, too. The black boxes are instantly recognizable, and the bottles actually in drink holders in our car, making portability a big plus, for us, considering he goes around with a bottle most everywhere we go. For him, he says it's the best-tasting bottled water on the market, and its quality is instantly noticeable in comparison its competitors. It keeps him hydrated, and he prefers it to such a degree that we've started buying it by the case.

Expensive but good tasting water
Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 24), Number of Items: 24
Expensive but good water. Crazy thing was how it was shipped. Shipped in a box like three times the size of the case the water came in. Didn't have any packing materials inside this huge box to keep it from sliding around. Box arrived halfway opened.
