Premium Aroid Mix For Tropical Plants

Give your tropical plants an airier growing medium with Elm Dirt Premium Aroid Mix. This chunky aroid potting mix combines orchid bark, perlite, and Ancient Soil to support drainage, root aeration, and slow-release nutrition without the dense texture of ordinary potting soil.

Chunky Structure for Healthier Roots

• Supports drainage: Orchid bark creates channels that help excess water move through the mix, reducing prolonged sogginess around roots.
• Room for roots to breathe: Air pockets support root growth and an open growing environment.
• Slow-release nutrition: Ancient Soil contributes worm-casting nutrients and beneficial microbes to support growth over time.
• Light, loose texture: Perlite helps keep the mix airy and resist compaction.

For Monstera, Philodendron, and Other Tropical Plants

Make repotting day a fresh start for your indoor jungle. This mix is designed for tropical plants that benefit from an open, well-draining root environment, including:

• Monstera: Deliciosa, adansonii, and variegated varieties.
• Philodendron: Brasil, Pink Princess, and climbing types.
• Pothos: Golden, Marble Queen, Neon, and other varieties.
• Anthurium: Flowering and foliage types.
• Alocasia: Elephant ear varieties.

What's in the Mix?

Chunky Orchid Bark

Creates air channels and supports drainage while retaining some moisture between waterings. Its loose structure is inspired by the airy growing conditions of tropical epiphytes.

Ancient Soil

Worm castings with 250+ species of beneficial bacteria and fungi to support living soil biology and plant nutrition.

Perlite

Keeps the mix light and airy and helps prevent compaction over time.

Choose Your Size

• 3 quarts
• 8 quarts

Select the volume that suits your repotting project. Pot capacity and the size of the existing root ball determine how much fresh mix you need.

Watering and Care

Use a container with drainage and adjust watering to your plant's needs and growing conditions. A well-draining mix helps manage moisture, but it does not guarantee protection from root rot. Follow the package guidance when repotting.
