Molly's Aroid Mix - Premium Tropical Plant Soilless Potting Mix Size:1 Cubic Foot 25 Quarts (20+ Plants) (Best Value) Chinese elm

Chinese elm

Orchids want pure bark with charcoal and almost no organic matter

and resists compaction for 12 to 18 months

and a small amount of organic matter that drains in seconds and forces the soak-and-dry watering rhythm succulents need

which is the opposite of what succulents need

Molly's Aroid Mix - Premium Tropical Plant Soilless Potting Mix Size:1 Cubic Foot 25 Quarts (20+ Plants) (Best Value) Chinese elmWhat is the best aroid mix? The best aroid mix is chunky, fast draining, and soil free: fir bark for air pockets, perlite for drainage, coco coir for moisture balance, and charcoal to keep the mix fresh. Molly's Aroid Mix is built to that spec for Monstera, Philodendron, Anthurium, and the rest of the aroid family ready to use straight from the bag. Air first: aroids evolved climbing rainforest trees. Their roots want air pockets, not packed dirt.
