How is Molly’s Aroid Mix different from typical “Big-Box” soil products?Updated 4 months ago

The main difference between Molly’s Aroid Mix and traditional soil mixes sold at big-box retailers is how each handles water drainage and general aeration. Traditional soil mixes tend to compact quickly since they’re made up of very small particles. As a result, they retain a lot of water which is not ideal for indoor container-based plants which are highly susceptible to root rot and other pitfalls associated with over-watering. Molly’s Aroid Mix is designed to address the primary needs of plants growing in containers, including;

• Proper levels of moisture retention
• Space for free root, water, gas, and nutrient movement
• pH levels that support nutrient uptake
• Free of soil-borne diseases and pathogens 
• Enough support to anchor the roots and the plant itself
