Our go-to everyday blend for tropical aroids. Nutrient-rich coco coir base with orchid bark, perlite and worm castings — free-draining enough to prevent rot, moisture-retentive enough to keep roots happy between waterings. Hand-mixed and packed to order in a brown paper bag.

A chunkier, more open version of our Premium Aroid Mix — heavier on the bark and pumice for plants that demand exceptional drainage and airflow around their roots. Ideal for collectors who want to push their aroids hard.

Formulated for the fussier end of the aroid family. Chunky bark and sphagnum moss create the open, airy root environment that Anthuriums and velvety Philodendrons need — mimicking the epiphytic conditions they grow in naturally.

Alocasias are thirsty but hate sitting in wet soil. This blend holds uniform moisture while flushing excess water instantly — keeping roots consistently damp without the rot risk. Ideal for Frydek, Black Velvet, Zebrina and Azlanii.

Tailored for the big climbers. Monsteras produce extensive root systems that need structural support and excellent drainage — this mix delivers both, with a chunky bark base and enough coco coir to hold moisture between waterings.

Light, airy and almost sterile — designed to encourage root development on cuttings without the risk of rot. Perlite and vermiculite keep the mix open while retaining just enough moisture to trigger rooting. Works for water-to-soil transitions too.

Formulated for enclosed high-humidity builds. Retains moisture consistently without compacting or going anaerobic — perfect for the substrate layer in paludariums, terrariums and vivarium builds. Works well with a drainage layer of LECA beneath.

A versatile, all-rounder mix inspired by the tropical forest floor. Rich in organic matter with enough structure to support a wide range of jungle plants — from trailing pothos to climbing philodendrons. A great everyday mix for mixed collections.

Our most specialist mix — ultra-chunky, almost bark-dominant, designed for the most demanding epiphytic Anthuriums. Thick fleshy roots need massive oxygen and rapid drying between waterings. This mix delivers both without compromise.

Medium-grade orchid bark — the backbone of most aroid mixes. Adds structure, aeration and drainage. Use to amend existing mixes or as a standalone component when building your own blend.

Horticultural-grade perlite — the essential drainage and aeration amendment. Lightweight volcanic glass that prevents compaction and keeps roots oxygenated. A must-have for any tropical plant collection.

Sustainably sourced coco coir — a peat-free base medium that retains moisture evenly while staying airy. The foundation of most of our mixes and an excellent peat substitute for eco-conscious growers.

Long-fibre sphagnum moss — naturally antimicrobial and excellent at holding moisture around roots. Use chopped in anthurium and propagation mixes, or whole for lining moss poles and terrariums.

Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate — the go-to for semi-hydro setups and drainage layers. Reusable, pH-neutral and excellent at wicking moisture. Use as a drainage layer beneath terrarium substrate or as a full semi-hydro growing medium.

Activated horticultural charcoal — a natural filter that absorbs toxins, prevents anaerobic bacteria and keeps substrate fresh. A small addition to any mix makes a big difference, especially in closed terrarium builds.

Pure worm castings — a gentle, slow-release organic fertiliser that feeds plants without burning roots. Adds beneficial microbes and improves soil structure. A small amount goes a long way in any tropical mix.

Expanded mineral vermiculite — lightweight, moisture-retentive and excellent for propagation mixes. Holds water and nutrients around developing roots without compacting. A key ingredient in our Propagation and Alocasia mixes.
