Paraiso Plant Studio Potting Mix

This mix is ideal for aroids like Monsteras, Philodendrons, and Alocasias, as well as most tropical houseplants that need consistent moisture but hate 'wet feet.' The inclusion of orchid bark and perlite ensures that roots get the oxygen they need to avoid rot.

It includes worm castings, which provide a gentle, natural boost of nutrients to support initial growth. However, because it is a soil-less style blend, you will still need to incorporate a regular liquid fertilizer routine once your plant is established.

Standard potting soils are often peat-based and can become compacted over time, which suffocates roots. This blend uses coconut coir and orchid bark to create a chunkier, airier structure that resists compaction and drains significantly faster.

Not at all. While it is designed for excellent drainage, the coconut coir component retains enough moisture to keep the roots hydrated without becoming waterlogged. It strikes a balance that allows you to water regularly without the risk of root rot.

While this mix is well-draining, it is formulated primarily for tropical houseplants that prefer a bit more moisture retention than desert succulents. For cacti and succulents, you would likely want to add extra perlite or pumice to this mix to increase drainage further.
