🌿 Monstera & Aroid Organic Soil
Chunky, Nutrient-Rich Soil for Lush, Tropical Growth & Healthy Root Systems
Our Monstera & Aroid Soil Blend is specially formulated for tropical houseplants that thrive in moisture-balanced, well-aerated soil. Designed with large-leaved aroids in mind—like Monstera, Philodendron, Anthurium, and Epipremnum—this mix provides the structure, nutrition, and breathability needed for vigorous foliage and robust root development.
Inspired by the rich, loose soils found in rainforest environments, this blend mimics natural conditions to support long-term plant health in indoor settings.
Key Features
Chunky, Open Structure for Root Health
Includes bark fines, perlite, and coconut husk chips to ensure excellent drainage and airflow, supporting both soil and aerial root development.
Moisture Retention Without Waterlogging
Coco coir and compost hold just the right amount of water, keeping roots hydrated without drowning them.
Slow-Release Nutrition
Worm castings and basalt rock dust provide a gentle, natural source of nutrients that feed your plant steadily over time.
Resists Compaction Over Time
Pumice and lava rock maintain the blend’s structure, preventing the mix from becoming dense or heavy—even after repeated watering.
Ideal Conditions & Care
This soil is tailored to support tropical plants that prefer evenly moist conditions but require high airflow around the roots to avoid issues like rot and stunted growth.
Ventilation & Humidity
While aroids enjoy humidity, stagnant conditions can encourage disease. Maintain gentle air movement using a small fan or by opening windows periodically. Humidifiers are useful in drier climates or during winter.
Choosing the Right Pot
Use pots with drainage holes to avoid standing water. Terracotta is great if you tend to overwater, while plastic or ceramic can help retain moisture in drier environments.
Watering Guidance
Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Always allow excess water to drain freely. Reduce frequency in cooler months when growth slows.
Light & Temperature
Bright, indirect light is best. Aroids dislike harsh direct sun, which can scorch leaves, but they also don’t thrive in dim light. Keep temperatures between 65–85°F (18–29°C), and avoid cold drafts.
Best-Suited Plants
This blend is ideal for moisture-loving tropicals that require a balance of drainage and organic richness:
- Monstera (deliciosa, adansonii, dubia)
- Philodendron (heartleaf, gloriosum, melanochrysum)
- Anthurium (crystallinum, magnificum, clarinervium)
- Rhaphidophora (tetrasperma, decursiva)
- Epipremnum (pothos varieties)
