Craft Aroid Potting Mix- Elite Organic Alocasia, Philodendron, Monstera Soil Mix, Chunky, Well Draining Potting Soil for Indoor Plants, All Tropical Plants & Houseplants, Perlite & Peat Free 2QT

I’ve been using GrowQueen soil mixes for a while now and honestly they’ve become my go to for my plant collection. I use the Craft Aroid Mix for my monsteras, philodendrons, alocasias, and other aroids, and I use the houseplant mix for some of my other tropicals. The texture is perfect, chunky, airy, and drains really well while still holding enough moisture. My roots always look healthy and my plants seem way happier after repotting into it. I’ve noticed stronger growth, healthier foliage, and way less issues with compacted soil or overwatering. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and thoughtfully blended. I also love that I don’t really need to amend it much straight out of the bag. Definitely one of the best premade mixes I’ve used for my indoor plants.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best aroid mix ever! The mix is light yet chunky, drains well, and keeps my plants healthy and happy. My indoor plants have adjusted beautifully after repotting, and I’ve already noticed new growth. Great quality and definitely worth having on hand. Highly recommend for all types of plants!

Buy it!!! The best soil I have ever received and used. If I could rate it higher I would. I’ve ordered from this brand 5 different times and the quality is consistently amazing. No bugs, no mold, perfectly chunky and breathable for my pothos and philodendrons. It actually smells like fresh dirt and not mildew or chemicals. My plants always thrive in it and I’ve never been worried about them dying from some sort of unknown creepy crawlers (I’m looking at you Spider Mites and Thrips). It also comes with free fertilizer and it actually works.

I’ve been using the Craft Aroid Mix for my houseplants, and it’s honestly one of the best soil blends I’ve tried, especially for aroids like my Monstera, Philodendron, and Alocasia. The mix is super chunky and airy, which keeps the roots happy and prevents overwatering issues. I love that it has a good balance of bark, perlite, and other organic materials—perfect for promoting drainage while still holding just enough moisture. Since switching to this mix, I’ve noticed better root growth and healthier leaves on my plants. It’s also really clean compared to some other mixes I’ve tried—no funky smells or pests right out of the bag. It is a little pricier than some standard soil blends, but in my opinion, the quality is totally worth it if you want your aroids to thrive. Would definitely recommend to any plant parent looking to level up their soil game! 🌿

This is a nice soil for smaller aroids but I ran into issues with this mix when I repotted some larger plants. I repotted a large alocasia and philodendron and it never dried out fully after the first watering. It had been over two months and this soil was holding onto way too much moisture and it caused root rot. I was able to salvage my plants but will be avoiding this soil for my larger plants and only using it for pots 6 inches or smaller.

This ended up being a good quality potting mix for the plants which I was repotting. The plants were able to handle the repotting with the soil and the soil dranage was very good. It is a chunky texture but it's breathable and the roots seem to be doing well in it. There were no issues with gnats, other bugs or bacteria and I would consider repurchasing if I were only to have a couple/few plants to replant depending on the size. There's about as much soil as I was expecting, which went faster than I expected. I ended up just being able to replant my 3 large plants and refresh the top layer of soil on a few other small plants. If you have plants in high numbers you're looking to plant or replant it's best to order a bigger size or an extra bag to make sure you don't run out. I think it's a tad overpriced but the quality was/is very good.

This potting mix is excellent for aroids and has a really nice, chunky texture that drains well while still holding enough moisture. It feels high-quality and well balanced, not dusty or overly compact like some mixes can be. My plants settled in quickly and seem very happy so far, with no issues of soggy soil or poor drainage. It’s super convenient to have a mix that’s already tailored for aroids instead of having to blend my own. I’d definitely buy this again for future repotting.

This stuff is amazing. All of the ingredients are of the highest quality, and my plants are getting the perfect amount of drainage while still soaking up plenty of water to feed them and keep them healthy. The added NZ tree fern is a nice added bonus. Overall, this is a very convenient aroid mix that will save you a lot of time and hassle if you have a lot of plants. Great bang for your buck and your plants will grow like crazy, especially if you use their plant food products. I was worried about mites or other insects but I’ve been using grow queen products for over a month now and there has been no mites or any other small pests, so that’s been a huge relief!
