Between the buttress roots of these trees, leaves and broken branches from the tree crowns accumulate, moss grows, and many soil organisms decompose this mass. Our Aroid Mix is designed to imitate these conditions. It is very airy yet retains a lot of moisture. It consists of partially decomposed organic matter and is slightly acidic, unfertilized, and low in nutrients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe uniform, medium-fine structure is suitable for small to medium-sized plants. Truly large specimens, especially large \u003cem\u003eAnthurium\u003c\/em\u003e, should preferably be potted in an even coarser mix with more bark or coconut chips!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis substrate can also be made yourself.
