I prefer this mix for my aroids over the actual aroid mix. Super chunky and well balanced with different substrates. I wouldn’t use this mix for anthuriums, in my experience they need a little more moisture retention.

My Mom recommended this to me (she also gifted me all of my plants, I wouldn’t have ever thought to buy them myself tbh, but now it’s a minor hobby of mine while at home).This stuff is really versatile, and can be used for a huge range of plants (especially if you combine it with other materials), although it is best for tropical plants that need aerated substrate but also need to be able to retain SOME water and be soil-like still (as opposed to pure orchid bark, moss or similar stuff). It’s very aerated and hard to over water; it drains well.I had a money tree that was dying of root rot back when I didn’t know what I was doing, and I repotted it with this soil and the tree came back a within a week or two. I probably won’t ever use a different mix for my monstera albo or money trees, I like this stuff.It looks and behaves like a chunky soil, so it’s easy to repot with (the plant won’t fall over when it’s dry like with orchid bark, for example). I’ve also checked my pH on my monstera with this and it’s neutral to slightly acidic, so it’s good to go.Like I said though, it somewhat resembles normal soil (albeit much chunkier) so when you use it, it will make a mess and get things dirty as opposed to orchid bark or something. So plan accordingly when replanting inside or whatever.Good stuff and very good value for the price IMO.

this product is great for cactus and other plants. it helps the moisture escape from the dirty, so your plants are drowning in wet dirt

Excellent mix! I use the orchid mix on all my philodendron, monsteras, and a few orchids. I've purchased the aroid mix before, but I thought it was too chunky for my aroids and seemed to be mostly coconut husk (even way down in the bag!) This mix has so many beneficial ingredients and my plants are absolutely thriving.I always shake it up and turn it upside down for a couple days before I open it because it does settle quite a bit. Sometimes I'll add a small amount of sphagnum moss for water retention.By far the best pre mixed potting mix.

I would ignore the review that said this mix has pests. What likely happened was, they probably already had pests and disturbing the old soil revealed and spread them, made them more noticeable.This mix is great. It’s chunky and drains well but holds just the right amount of moisture. It doesn’t have a funky smell and isn’t overly wet in the bag, just moist enough that it’s fresh.You do not need to add anything or alter it in any way to use it; it’s ready straight out of the bag! I love that, because mixing your own can be time consuming and expensive.This bag is also large and goes a long way, I definitely recommend it.

My aroids love it, and I have a lot of them. Drains beautifully. I'm too lazy to mix my own substrate right now and this is getting the job done so I'll keep buying.

My monsteras LOVE this mix. I needed to transplant them from moss to soil, and I knew how things can easily go wrong so I decided to get this chunky mix. With the right watering schedule this helps prevent root rot, and my babies are THRIVING. I can barely see any signs of transplant shock; they are definitely benefiting from the nutrients in this mix. A little pricey, but worth the price.

Wonderful high quality potting mix. Wish it was cheaper but it’s worth the money.
