Craft Aroid Potting Mix- Elite Organic Alocasia, Philodendron, Monstera Soil Mix, Chunky, Well Draining Potting Soil for Indoor Plants, All Tropical Plants & Houseplants, Sustainable & Peat Free 4QT

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

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.

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.

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 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.
