Craft Aroid Potting Mix

No, this formula is completely perlite-free. Instead of perlite, it uses volcanic rock and pumice to provide superior aeration and drainage while maintaining a more sustainable, natural composition.

Yes, the Craft Aroid Potting Mix is non-toxic and safe for households with pets. It relies on organic ingredients like worm castings and tree fern fiber rather than synthetic chemicals.

No, you do not need to add extra fertilizer immediately. The mix comes pre-fertilized and is enriched with beneficial microbes and biochar to support plant health right out of the bag.

While specifically engineered for tropical aroids, the high drainage and aeration levels make it suitable for succulents and cacti as well. Its porous structure prevents the water retention that can often lead to root rot in those varieties.

Being peat-free means this blend avoids the use of peat moss, a resource that is often harvested in ways that are environmentally damaging. This mix uses sustainable alternatives like coco coir and tree fern fiber to achieve the same moisture-retention benefits.

It is ready to use straight from the bag. You do not need to mix it with any other soil or amendments before potting your plants.
