Summary: Designed to eliminate root rot risk, this completely soil-free mix delivers maximum aeration and rapid drainage—giving Alocasias the oxygen-rich environment they need to truly thrive in European homes.
🧪 Composition & Ingredients
💨 Drainage & Aeration
This is an extremely fast-draining, oxygen-rich mix. The high percentage of pumice and perlite ensures constant airflow—ideal for preventing root rot, especially in cooler German apartments.
💧 Moisture Retention
Low moisture retention by design. This mix suits experienced growers or those using frequent watering routines. Ideal when paired with higher humidity environments or semi-hydro-style care.
🔄 Use Cases & Compatibility
Perfect for Alocasia varieties prone to rot (like Frydek, Polly, and Zebrina), as well as advanced growers transitioning to soil-free or semi-hydro setups. Works well in indoor European climates with controlled watering.
📦 Format & Quantity Options
Pre-measured to create approx. 3–5L of substrate. Suitable for 2–3 medium plants or multiple smaller Alocasias.
♻️ Sustainability & Safety
Peat-free and long-lasting mineral blend. Components are reusable and resistant to breakdown. Safe to handle; note that Alocasias are toxic to pets if ingested.
📅 Storage & Shelf Life
Store dry indefinitely in a sealed container. Unlike organic soils, this mineral mix does not degrade over time.
🛠 How to Use
Mixing Instructions: Use the following ratios by volume (e.g., scoops or cups):
- 4 parts Lava Rock (Pumice)
- 4 parts Perlite
- 1 part Activated Charcoal
- 1 part French Bark
Mix thoroughly and use in pots with drainage holes. Water more frequently than traditional soil, and avoid letting roots sit dry for extended periods.
