I love using an aroid mix for my plants

Worst soil I've encountered. Do not buy. It is cometely hydrophobic and will not absorb water. Very small particle size and not as chunky in texture as the photos made it look.

I’ve had good success with this mix, however it does hold onto moisture a bit more than I had thought, resulting in root rot in a few of my less expensive plants (Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica' and a few other pothos) it is chunky it’s just very dense so I’m not sure if it was the mix or just me. It was a good size for the price, seems to drain but does really hold moisture. Fruit gnats LOVE this mix. Just a warning. It’s easy to use, sure, and the contents have a good mix of quality materials. Just make sure to keep up with bug control and don’t overwater, it’s more moisturized than you think!

This is a decent starter soil for newer plant hobbyists such as myself. Honestly not quite as chunky as I'd like, now that my plants have had time with it and I've seen others. I just added a bit more perlite to it as well as other substrate.Something I do with this that I love is I add it to regular potting mix for the plants that don't need chunky bc it seems the average potting mix is still too dense for most of my plants. This has become a staple for almost all of my plants, to some extent.Overall I could see buying it again.

I’ve bought a couple bags of this soil now and all of my plants love it. It is not as chunky as previous brands I’ve used, BUT it is light and airy with great drainage. I have a moisture meter and my plants never read too wet with this soil mix. As for the smell! That is known as hydrogen sulfide. It happens when soil becomes wet and has no drainage or air flow. This is pretty normal and not harmful to your plants unless in high concentrations (some people will treat their gardens with low levels of hydrogen sulfide because it actually has some benefits for the plants). As soon as you open the bag and oxygen hits the soil it will start to kill off the bacteria that creates the smell. So don’t stress! It’s not bad soil! I plan on continuing to use this potting mix for all of my house plants.
