Mixed Medium

How to water our Succulent and Cactus Mix

Just keep watering!

A properly gritty, well draining mix takes the guesswork out of watering picky cacti and succulents. Their fine roots need to dry out completely before getting watered thoroughly. This mix, combined with proper watering, achieves both goals.

How It's Made
The spectacular Monstera Deliciosa from our cover photo thrives in this chunky Aroid Mix.

But it looks so different from potting soil!! 🤔

Aroid plants are prone to root rot, so they need a potting medium with excellent drainage and aeration, good nutrient retention, and minimal compaction.

What is an Aroid?

Family Araceae - a giant taxonomical group of plants that includes Monstera, Pothos, Philodendron, Syngonium, Scindapsus, Alocasia, Caladium, and many more!
Many Aroids are hemi-epyphitic, which means their roots can adapt to either living in soil, or climbing up trees. They benefit from a light, chunky soil that enables their roots to breathe, while also having a rough surface to grip.
