Little Red Nursery, LLC Molly's Aroid Mix

This mix is composed of organic and inorganic materials designed to mimic the natural, airy environment of tropical forest floors, rather than using traditional peat or garden soil. By omitting standard soil, the blend ensures superior drainage and prevents the compaction that often suffocates sensitive aroid roots.

While this mix is designed for high drainage and aeration, it is specifically formulated for aroids that prefer a 'wet-dry' cycle. If you live in a very dry climate, you may need to water slightly more frequently than you would with a standard potting soil, but the risk of root rot will be significantly lower.

It is ideal for aroids like Philodendrons, Monsteras, and Alocasias that thrive in chunky, well-aerated substrates. However, if you have tropical plants that prefer consistently moist soil, such as ferns or peace lilies, this mix might drain too quickly for their needs.

Yes, the chunky texture and high aeration make it an excellent medium for rooting cuttings. The rapid drainage helps prevent stem rot while the roots establish themselves in the mix.

The bag features a resealable heat-sealed zipper, which is designed to keep the mix fresh and free of debris between uses. Simply squeeze the excess air out before zipping it shut to maintain the integrity of the ingredients.
