Aroid Potting Mix for Tropical Houseplants, Chunky Soil-Free Blend for Airflow and Fast Drainage

This aroid potting mix gives tropical houseplant roots an airy growing medium that lets excess water drain away. Molly's Aroid Mix combines chunky bark, perlite and coir to balance open structure with moisture retention when repotting Monstera, Philodendron, Anthurium and other tropical foliage plants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which houseplants can I repot in this aroid mix?

This aroid mix is designed for Monstera, Philodendron, Pothos, Anthurium, Alocasia and Syngonium, along with other tropical foliage plants that prefer a chunky, fast-draining substrate.

Do I need to add soil or rinse the mix before use?

No, this aroid mix is ready to use without soil, mixing or rinsing. Adding regular potting soil reduces the open air pockets that the chunky blend is designed to provide.

How should I use this mix when repotting?

Use this aroid mix in a pot with drainage holes that is 1 to 2 inches wider than the current root ball. Keep the plant at its previous growing depth, fill gently around the roots and water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain.

When should I water after repotting?

Water thoroughly after repotting in this aroid mix, then check the top inch before watering again. Wait until that layer feels dry rather than relying on a fixed watering schedule.
