Aroid Potting Mix - Ideal Substrate for Healthy Aroids
The SYBASoil Aroid Potting Mix, developed by Sybotanica, provides the perfect balance of aeration, moisture retention, and nutrients. Designed to mimic the natural environment of aroids, this mix supports strong root growth, optimal hydration, and long-term plant health. Loved by both beginners and expert collectors, it delivers outstanding results for common and rare aroids.
Aroid Plants’ Natural Habitat and Growing Conditions
Aroids originate from tropical rainforests, where they grow in nutrient-rich, well-draining, and airy soil. Their natural environment is humid, with organic matter constantly replenishing the substrate. This mix replicates those conditions, ensuring ideal root aeration and moisture levels.
Why Aroid Potting Mix Works
Unlike generic potting soil, this Sybotanica-formulated mix provides essential benefits for healthy plant development:
- ✔ Improved aeration - Coconut husk chips and perlite prevent compaction, ensuring oxygen reaches roots.
- ✔ Sustained moisture balance - Coco coir retains water without waterlogging, reducing watering frequency.
- ✔ Enhanced nutrient availability - Worm castings provide slow-releasing organic nutrients.
- ✔ Protection against root rot and contaminants - Activated carbon helps prevent mold, bacteria, and disease.
- ✔ Sustainable, peat-free formula - Unlike many commercial mixes, this substrate is 100% peat-free, reducing environmental impact.
This mix is tested and loved by hundreds of plant keepers for thick roots and vigorous growth.
Aroid Plant Care Tips
- Watering: Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out before watering again.
- Humidity: Prefers high humidity; does well in bathrooms or rooms with added humidity.
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light; avoid prolonged direct sunlight.
- Fertilizing: Benefits from moderate feeding; aroids grow larger when supported by a moss pole.
- Repotting: Best repotted when roots outgrow the pot or when soil structure breaks down.
How to Use Aroid Potting Mix
🌱 Repotting your aroid has never been easier! Follow these simple steps:
- Remove as much old soil as possible.
- Rinse the roots under lukewarm water to eliminate remaining particles.
- Trim any dead foliage using clean scissors.
- Add a layer of potting mix at the bottom of the pot.
- Position the plant and fill the sides gradually with soil.
- Ensure the root crown is just below the surface.
- Lightly pat down the mix and water thoroughly to settle the roots.
Watering Guide for Aroid Potting Mix
- Water only when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry.
- If unsure, insert a finger into the soil to check moisture levels.
- Let the mix dry slightly on occasion—the lower layers retain moisture for longer, encouraging deeper root growth.

How to Repot Your Aroid with Aroid Soil Mix
Repotting your Aroid plant with Aroid Soil Mix is a simple process that encourages healthy growth and ensures proper drainage. Follow these easy steps for the best results:
Step 1: Remove Old Soil
Carefully remove as much old soil as possible. Gently squeeze the pot to loosen the plant, and if it’s stuck, rinse the roots under lukewarm water.
Step 2: Prune Dead Foliage
Use sterilized scissors to trim any dead or damaged leaves. This helps promote fresh growth and prepares your plant for its new home.
Step 3: Add a Base Layer of Aroid Soil Mix
Pour a small layer of Aroid Soil Mix into the bottom of the pot. This creates a solid foundation for your plant and ensures good drainage.
Step 4: Position the Plant
Place the plant so that the root crown (where the roots meet the base) is just below the soil line. Fill the pot with Aroid Soil Mix, lightly patting the soil to secure the plant without compacting it.
Step 5: Water Thoroughly
Water the Aroid Soil Mix thoroughly after repotting to help the soil settle and encourage the roots to establish. Keep the soil evenly moist—slightly moist, not waterlogged.
Your Aroid is now in prime condition to thrive. Monitor moisture levels and enjoy healthier, vigorous growth with Aroid Soil Mix.
