Essential Mix · complete substrate for aroids

Aroid Premium Mix 8,5 L

A complete, ready-to-use substrate for everyday aroid growing. Its chunky composition combines an organic bioactive base, orchid bark, chunky perlite and coco husk chips, giving the root system air, effective drainage and balanced moisture without the mix compacting easily.

The exact composition

Four ingredients, four distinct roles

The 30/20/30/20 ratio combines an organic base, large inert particles and moisture-retentive materials without turning the mix into a dense, heavy mass.

BioActive Growing Medium

A peat-free organic base with biocompost, organic humus, biochar and beneficial microorganisms.

20%

Orchid Bark

High-quality bark that retains some moisture while maintaining air channels around the roots.

30%

Chunky Perlite

Large perlite granules that improve aeration, limit compaction and support drainage.

20%

Coco Husk Chips

Durable coconut husk chips that retain moisture, reinforce the open structure and decompose slowly.

Air in the root zone

Orchid bark and chunky perlite create gaps that support air exchange and keep the structure more open.

Balanced moisture

The bark and coco husk chips retain some water, while the perlite helps excess water drain away.

A bioactive start

The enriched organic base adds organic matter, biochar and beneficial microorganisms to the root environment.

Suitable plants

An everyday chunky mix for many aroids

It is particularly well suited to plants that prefer an aerated organic base and good drainage. Actual watering needs will still vary by species and growing environment.

Philodendron
Syngonium
Epipremnum
Monstera
Scindapsus
Aglaonema

Structure does not replace the right pot

Use a container with effective drainage and a size suited to the root ball.

An aerated mix does not eliminate overwatering

Light, temperature, pot size and the root system determine how quickly it dries.

Repotting

Use it straight from the bag without disrupting the chunky structure

Work gradually around the root ball and avoid heavy compaction so the larger particles retain their air spaces.

01Prepare the pot

Choose a clean pot with drainage openings and add an initial layer of mix.

02Position the plant

Keep the root ball at approximately the same planting depth without burying the stem or crown more deeply.

03Fill around the root ball

Add the substrate gradually into the gaps and tap the sides gently instead of pressing it down firmly.

04Water and allow to drain

Moisten the mix evenly after repotting and allow all excess water to drain away.

Water according to the plant — not a fixed calendar

Check moisture within the mix, the weight of the pot and the condition of the plant before watering again. The surface alone does not always reveal what is happening in the centre of the root zone.

In the package

1 bag Essential Mix · 8.5 L

Complete, ready-to-use substrate in a resealable bag.

Sold separately

Pot, plant and equipment

This product contains the substrate only. Pot, plant, fertiliser, moss pole and tools are not included.

Storage

Store the bag in a cool, dry place and reseal it after use to limit contamination and preserve the structure of the mix.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about choosing, using and storing the product.

01Do I need to add another material before using it?

No. Essential Mix is complete and ready to use. If the components have shifted during transport, gently mix the contents of the bag without crushing the larger pieces.

02Which plants is it suitable for?

It is designed for everyday growing of aroids such as Philodendron, Syngonium and Epipremnum, and suits many Monstera, Scindapsus, Aglaonema and other plants that prefer an aerated, chunky organic substrate.

03How often should I water?

There is no single fixed interval for every plant. Water thoroughly and allow it to drain, then check moisture within the mix, the weight of the pot and the plant's needs before watering again.

04Does it contain nutrients, or will I need fertiliser?

BioActive Growing Medium provides an enriched organic base with humus, biochar and beneficial microorganisms, but it does not replace a long-term fertilising programme. Once the plant is established and actively growing, follow the dosage of a suitable fertiliser and the needs of the species.
