Monstera & Philodendron Mix

What type of soil do Aroids like?

Plants like Monstera and Philodendron are coming from hot and humid tropical forests and thrive in a potting mix that mirrors their native jungles — well-draining yet sufficiently water-retentive to maintain their tropical vibrancy.

Why choose our Premium Monstera & Philodendron mix?

Optimal Aeration: 

The choice of coarse grade ingredients in our monstera soil mix creates abundant aeration. This chunkiness is vital for creating air pockets that foster healthy root development, allowing the roots to spread and breathe easily.

Perfect Drainage:

While these tropical wonders appreciate humidity, they really despise waterlogged roots. With a balanced blend of zeolite, bark and pumice of different grain size, our soil mix for philodendron and monstera provides good drainage to minimize the risk of root rot. At the same time, ingredients like bark also ensure that your plants stay hydrated for up to two weeks.

Nutrient-Rich Ecosystem: 

By pre-treating coco coir, our base component, we ensure that every nutrient added to the pot is readily available for your plant's absorption. With worm castings rich with beneficial bacteria and fungi, and an added boost of vital soil microorganisms like Bacillus sp., Actinomycetes, Azotobacter and others, your plants gain a strong defense against stress and diseases. We also add Mycorrhizae into the mix – a fungi that creates a symbiotic relationship with your plant's roots, greatly improving water and nutrient uptake. Zeolite's ability to lock in and gradually release nutrients, ensures that your plant has enough nutrients for one month after repotting.
