The mix your aroids actually want. Molly’s Aroid Mix is a chunky, soil-free potting blend designed for tropical houseplants that hate soggy roots. This well-aerated mix drains fast, resists compaction, and keeps oxygen flowing—helping plants like Monstera, Philodendron, Alocasia, and Anthurium thrive indoors. Proudly made in the USA, it comes in a resealable, recyclable bag to stay fresh between uses.

Ingredients

Over 20 organic + mineral components, pH-balanced and pest-free.

  • Orchid bark (fir), coir fiber & chips
  • Expanded clay, perlite, horticultural charcoal
  • Canadian sphagnum peat moss
  • Worm castings, calcitic & dolomitic limestone
  • Beneficial fungi (Rhizophagus irregularis) & bacteria (Bacillus pumilus)
  • Natural nutrients + wetting agent

Benefits

  • Stops root rot & yellow leaves – Drains quickly, resists compaction, and keeps roots from drowning.
  • Cleaner than soil – Gnat-resistant and free of fertilizers, pests, and diseases.
  • Builds stronger plants – Mycorrhizae + microbes extend root systems, improve nutrient uptake, and boost natural defenses.
  • Lasts longer – Breaks down slowly, meaning fewer repots, less plant stress, and more savings.

FAQs

1. How is Molly’s Aroid Mix different from typical big-box soils?

The difference comes down to structure and water management. Most mass-market soils are made of fine particles that compact quickly, holding excess moisture around roots. While that might work outdoors, it can be disastrous in pots, where poor aeration and waterlogging lead to root rot and declining plant health.

Molly’s Aroid Mix is intentionally built for container plants:

  • Drainage without drought – it holds just enough water while letting excess drain away.
  • Airflow where roots need it most – large, chunky ingredients create pockets for oxygen and nutrient movement.
  • Balanced chemistry – pH levels are optimized for nutrient uptake.
  • Cleaner than soil – free of pests, pathogens, and soil-borne diseases.
  • Stable structure – supports roots and anchors the plant without suffocating it.

2. Do I need to add anything to Molly’s Aroid Mix?

No additional ingredients are required. The blend is complete on its own, combining organic materials and inert minerals that cover a plant’s essential needs. It includes beneficial fungi and bacteria that extend root systems and improve nutrient absorption—features you won’t find in typical off-the-shelf soil. While you can experiment with mixing in additives, the formula is designed to stand alone as a full-service potting medium.

3. What plants is Molly’s Aroid Mix suited for?

This mix is designed for any indoor plant that benefits from a chunky, well-aerated substrate. That includes many of the most popular tropicals and houseplants—Monstera, Philodendron, Alocasia, Anthurium, Fiddle Leaf Fig, Calathea, Aglaonema, and more. By resisting compaction and encouraging airflow around roots, it supports stronger growth and reduces the stress common to container-grown plants. If you’re unsure about a specific plant, reach out—most indoor species that dislike soggy soil will do well in this mix.

4. How often should I replace the mix?

On average, once a year. That timing aligns with normal repotting cycles as plants outgrow their containers. Molly’s Aroid Mix is made with ingredients that decompose slowly, so it can remain effective for longer periods. When refreshing, don’t worry about removing every piece from the roots—material that clings to the root ball can continue to provide structure and nutrients in the new pot.

5. What’s the best way to water with this mix?

Think “thorough but infrequent.” Most plants in Molly’s Aroid Mix will need water every 1–2 weeks, depending on the plant type, pot size, and your environment. Because the mix drains rapidly, it’s important to let water evenly saturate the pot before flowing through the bottom.

For deeper hydration and healthier root growth, occasional bottom watering is recommended: place the pot in a shallow tray of water for 30–60 minutes. This allows the mix to wick moisture upward, ensuring the entire root zone is rehydrated and encouraging roots to grow downward.

6. How much does one bag cover?

A 5-quart bag goes further than you’d expect:

  • Roughly 10–12 small (4") pots
  • 6–8 medium (5") pots
  • 4–6 larger (6") pots

Because the ingredients decompose slowly, the mix lasts longer than standard soils, making it both a premium and cost-effective option for your plant collection.

Great steamer!
Love this steam mop! It heats up quickly and leaves floors clean and streak-free. The floors dry within just a minute or two, which is a huge plus. I also highly recommend the scented mineral water—it adds an extra layer of freshness to the clean. The mop pads are washable, durable, and very easy to change. While it’s not the most expensive steam mop on the market, it delivers excellent performance and is a great value for the price. I would definitely recommend it! Bonus attachments which I have not used yet but am sure they will deliver as well.

Excellent product. Does great work.
I’ve only had it for one day but have used it on my whole house already, laminate and tile. I LOVE it with all my heart. ❤️ i know my floors are actually getting cleaned and not just wet. It makes mopping so easy. It’s my first steam mop and I went on the less expensive side because it’s kind of a trial run. It produces just the right amount of steam. The pads are simple Velcro peel and stick. The unit is slim, lightweight. I like the corded because I don’t have to fool with the battery going out mid clean. It twists and turns as needed and goes under things. Feels sturdy and quality. I used just water and they look great. I also tried a demineralized water product (different brand) with eucalyptus scent. That stuff left film on my laminate but can’t see any residue on the tile. I’ll probably use what left on tile only so it doesn’t go to waste but after that I’m using water only. I went over the laminate later with just water and now it’s fine. Heats up and ready for use in just 18 seconds to 260F. Best cleaning product I ever bought. Btw the handle is supposed to click in permanently. Mine didn’t. I can pull it out. But I’ve done the whole house and was never an issue so no bother. If I have any issues I’ll update this post.

Steam Mop
I recently purchased this steam mop and have been very impressed with its performance. It heats up quickly and does an excellent job cleaning my floors without the need for harsh chemicals. The steam easily removes dirt, grime, and sticky spots, leaving my floors looking clean and refreshed. The mop is lightweight and easy to maneuver around furniture and tight spaces. I also appreciate that the water tank is simple to fill and provides enough steam for cleaning multiple rooms before needing a refill. One of my favorite features is how quickly the floors dry after mopping. It saves time and makes cleaning much more convenient. Overall, this steam mop is a great value for the price and has made keeping my home clean much easier. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an effective and easy-to-use floor cleaning solution.
