Premium Aroid Mix from Elm Dirt is a chunky, well-draining blend built for tropical aroids and other plants that hate wet feet. It recreates the airy rainforest floor with orchid bark for drainage, Ancient Soil for nutrition, and perlite for lasting structure, helping prevent root rot while encouraging vigorous root growth.

Pot or repot tropical plants directly into the mix, settling roots so the chunky blend supports them with plenty of air space. Water thoroughly and allow the excess to drain; the open structure dries faster than dense potting soil, so check moisture before watering again.
