Featuring chunky Douglas fir bark, certified organic coco coir, pumice, and lava rock, it delivers superior drainage, aeration, and root health. Enriched with living microbes and worm castings, this ready-to-use, pet-safe mix promotes rapid root growth and robust plant vitality while supporting sustainable, eco-friendly gardening. ## Description Grow Queen Craft Aroid Potting Mix is a premium, small-batch aroid soil made for the plants that struggle in ordinary bagged dirt. In the rainforest, aroids like Monstera, Alocasia, Philodendron and Anthurium root into loose bark, leaf litter and moss, with constant airflow and quick drainage. Our chunky aroid mix recreates that environment indoors. What's inside: Douglas fir bark, pumice, lava rock, New Zealand tree fern fiber, charged biochar, certified organic coco coir, earthworm castings, alfalfa and gypsum. Bark, pumice and lava rock keep the mix open and fast draining. Coco coir and biochar hold moisture between waterings. Worm castings and alfalfa feed the living microbes that keep roots healthy, and tree fern fiber helps hold pH near 6.0. No peat. No perlite. No synthetic fertilizers. The white pieces you see are pumice, a natural volcanic stone that is heavier than perlite, so it stays mixed in instead of floating to the top. How to use: Arrives pre-moistened and ready to plant. Choose a pot with drainage holes, fill with the mix, settle your plant at its original depth and water thoroughly. Water again when the top inch is dry. Feed every few weeks during the growing season with Grow Queen Organic Plant Food. Great for: Monstera deliciosa and Thai Constellation, Alocasia, Philodendron, Anthurium, Hoya, Syngonium, Pothos, Calathea, Begonia, ZZ plant, Snake plant, Peace Lily, Money Tree, Fiddle Leaf Fig and other tropical houseplants. Sizes: 1 QT, 2 QT, 4 QT, 8 QT and 12 QT. ## Features - CHUNKY AROID SOIL BUILT FOR MONSTERA & ALOCASIA: Our small-batch aroid mix blends Douglas fir bark, pumice, lava rock, New Zealand tree fern fiber and charged biochar into an airy, chunky monstera potting mix that mimics a rainforest floor. Made for Monstera, Alocasia, Philodendron, Anthurium, Hoya, Syngonium and rare aroids. - WELL DRAINING, NEVER SOGGY: Big bark chunks, pumice and lava rock open up air pockets so water drains fast and roots can breathe. This well draining potting soil resists compaction and makes overwatering difficult, while coco coir and biochar hold just enough moisture between waterings. The drainage-to-moisture balance tropical plants need. - LIVING, NUTRIENT-RICH TROPICAL POTTING MIX: Earthworm castings, alfalfa and gypsum feed beneficial soil microbes and supply gentle, balanced nutrition. Our biochar is charged (pre-infused with nutrients), so it feeds roots from day one instead of pulling nutrients out of the soil. Pairs with Grow Queen Organic Plant Food. - PEAT FREE & PERLITE FREE: We skip peat moss and energy-intensive perlite. Instead we use naturally porous pumice and lava rock plus certified organic coco coir, washed extra times to remove salts. A cleaner, more sustainable indoor potting soil for house plants, made in small batches in the USA. - PH BALANCED FOR TROPICAL PLANT SOIL: New Zealand tree fern fiber conditions the mix and holds pH near 6.0, the slightly acidic range aroids and tropical houseplants prefer in the wild. Crafted by botanists and tested on over 500 plant species, from common houseplants to collector aroids. - READY TO USE FOR ALL HOUSEPLANTS: Arrives pre-moistened. Open the bag and repot. Built for aroids, and just as good for Pothos, Calathea, Begonia, ZZ Plant, Snake Plant, Peace Lily, Money Tree, Fiddle Leaf Fig, Spider Plant and any indoor plant that wants a chunky, fast draining soil. Available in 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 QT bags. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DJ3KLTQM | | Brand Name | Grow Queen | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,177) | | Manufacturer | Grow Queen | | Manufacturer Part Number | Craft Aroid Soil Blend 2 Quart | | Model Number | Aroid Mix 2qt | | Style Name | Modern | | UPC | 198715549553 | | Volume | 2 Quarts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Grow Queen - **Style:** Modern - **UPC:** 198715549553 ## Images ![Craft Aroid Potting Mix, Chunky Soil Mix for Monstera, Alocasia, Philodendron, Anthurium & Tropical Plants, Organic Well Draining Indoor Potting Soil for House Plants, Peat Free, 2 QT - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/913l9ycH7IL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - Grow Queen Craft Aroid Potting Mix- Elite Alocasia, Philodendron, Monstera Soil Mix, Chunky, Well Draining Potting Soil for Indoor Plants, All Tropical Plants & Houseplants, Synthetic & Peat Free 2QT - Grow Queen All-in-One Complete Organic Plant Food, Indoor Plant Fertilizer, for Houseplants, Organic Fertilizer for Vegetable Gardens, 11 Formulated Single Servings Feeds 22 gal Fast and Slow Release - Grow Queen Complete Organic Cactus & Succulent Fertilizer, Succulent Plant Food & Cactus Food, Bonsai, Snake Plant Fertilizer, 7 Servings Fast & Slow Release Feeds up to 28 Plants 8 Months --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/741801627-craft-aroid-potting-mix-chunky-soil-mix-for-monstera-alocasia](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/741801627-craft-aroid-potting-mix-chunky-soil-mix-for-monstera-alocasia) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-11-11*
