Key Benefits & Features
Ultra-Fast Drainage & Aeration: A high-mineral load (lava rock,  high quality coarse sand, perlite) ensures excess water flows freely, preventing soggy roots and fungal issues.
Nutrient-Rich Base: Our signature “Rooted Aroid” base mix—coco coir chips, peat moss, organic charcoal, worm castings, vermuclite, perlite and mycorrhizal fungi—provides steady nutrition and enhances healthy root colonization.
Sterile & pH-Balanced: Every batch is pasteurized to eliminate pests and pathogens, then pH-adjusted for optimal nutrient uptake.
Long-Lasting Performance: Coarse particles resist compaction over time, so you only need to repot every 12–18 months.
Convenient Packaging: Resealable Mylar bag locks in freshness and makes storage a breeze.
 
How to Use
Prep Your Pot: Ensure drainage holes are clear.
Fill & Plant: Add mix to your container, nestle in your succulent or cactus, then top off so roots are just covered.
