Molly's Aroid Mix - Premium Soilless Potting Mix for Houseplants - Fast Draining, Chunky & Easier to Water vs. Soil for Indoor Plants - with Bark, Coco Chips, Worm Castings, Mycorrhizae 10 Dry Quarts

My Mom recommended this to me (she also gifted me all of my plants, I wouldn’t have ever thought to buy them myself tbh, but now it’s a minor hobby of mine while at home). This stuff is really versatile, and can be used for a huge range of plants (especially if you combine it with other materials), although it is best for tropical plants that need aerated substrate but also need to be able to retain SOME water and be soil-like still (as opposed to pure orchid bark, moss or similar stuff). It’s very aerated and hard to over water; it drains well. I had a money tree that was dying of root rot back when I didn’t know what I was doing, and I repotted it with this soil and the tree came back a within a week or two. I probably won’t ever use a different mix for my monstera albo or money trees, I like this stuff. It looks and behaves like a chunky soil, so it’s easy to repot with (the plant won’t fall over when it’s dry like with orchid bark, for example). I’ve also checked my pH on my monstera with this and it’s neutral to slightly acidic, so it’s good to go. Like I said though, it somewhat resembles normal soil (albeit much chunkier) so when you use it, it will make a mess and get things dirty as opposed to orchid bark or something. So plan accordingly when replanting inside or whatever. Good stuff and very good value for the price IMO.

This is now the only brand I use for my succulents. It's excellent & they're thriving. Expensive, but definitely worth it.

I knew from the description of ingredients this stuff was the real deal but man this stuff is great!! It’s SUPER CHUNKY - I’m talking only a little dirt/ soil. I even mixed some in on some of my plants that prefer damper soils / longer dry out time which I am okay with. I repotted seven plants with the larger bag. That includes two 5 gallons and one 3 gallon so it goes as far as it says it will on the package and as I mentioned I even mixed some regular soil/ dirt in. Overall I would say the value is pretty good for the quality. Within those repotted plants I repotted two monsteras (an albo and Thai constellation). The Thai has put out a new leaf with another leaf already ready to come out of that new leaf. The albo has a new leaf ready as well which I consider a win since it completely stopped growing before the repot. I have some other plants with this soil including a syngonium and an alocasia Frydek. My Frydek was previously in regular soil from the nursery and it has PERKED UP to say the least. I’m obsessed with this stuff. So far I have also noticed one of my plants that has coconut coir substrate attracts fungus gnats- the gnats go to some of my other plants but ignore this soil entirely. This stuff also doesn’t grow any nasty mold or get smelly. AMAZING STUFF! I recommend to everyone I know now.

I love this chunky soil. It's good quality and my Monsteras' thrive in it and my other plants as well. Pricey though, for just a medium size bag that will probably be used for one big planter, and not enough for another unless they are smaller, but as long as it works I will purchase because it will not attract those pesky fungus knats and bugs that live in the dirt if it's too moist. This soil avoids that. It doesn't retain water because it drains easily through the chunks. It looks great in the pot.

I use this soil for all of my plants and they love it! It’s a great size value for 10 quarts, compared to other products and the quality of ingredient is impressive. My plants are very healthy and haven’t had an issue with root rot since I switched. It makes repotting so simple. This does dry faster than regular soil so you may need to water more often in the summer. I have over 30 plants and still have some left over from repotting all of my plants.

This stuff is really gritty and I think it is perfect for succulents like lithops. I top dressed mine with black lava rock as it helps fill in some of the gaps you get with this stuff. At times I found myself digging around for smaller pieces at the bottom of the supply bowl. I've tried their aroid mix with great result so I wanted to get a bag of this stuff. Unfortunately, they just do not have the 5qt bags so had to order two 3 qt bags which was kind of silly expensive (knocking a star off for that). They just canceled my first order days after placing it and I was forced to buy two 3qt bags for a batch of plants that was coming in, thanks a lot! Really, it's a nice mix and great for your lithops as you can water them a little here and there without worrying if they are going to explode because it dries in about 1-2 days. I plan to pick up some more of this stuff, but it is also kind of expensive for being a bag of mixed rocks.

Absolutely amazing I don’t have to use the car or anything else. Thank you.

I used to buy all the ingredients and make my own potting mix to ensure it was well draining, but this is better than any I’ve made and saves time and money. The fact that there’s actually no dirt in this mix also avoids fungus gnats, which is a win.
