Measure your pot, and we'll work out the litres and which bag size covers it.
Assumes you fill to about 2cm below the rim, with a little extra for the mix settling after watering. Repotting a plant with an existing root ball uses less.

Aroids didn't evolve in dense potting mix, and most potting mix forgets that.
Climbing aroids evolved in loose, highly aerated conditions — scrambling up trunks, rooting into bark, leaf litter and pockets of organic matter rather than sitting in a dense, uniform column of soil. Their roots expect something solid to hold and plenty of gaps around it. Standard potting mix is close to the opposite: fine, uniform, and packing tighter every time you water.
Mix is step three. Light, water, mix, then feed — that's the Plant Runner Method. A lot of what gets blamed on overwatering is really a mix problem. Water itself isn't the enemy; trouble starts when the root zone stays saturated long enough to lose the air roots need.
So this one is built coarse. Orchid bark and composted bark give the roots structure to hold; perlite keeps the gaps open as the mix settles; coco coir holds enough moisture that it doesn't dry out in a day; horticultural charcoal helps with structure and drainage. No peat — coir does that job without the bog.
No added fertiliser, on purpose. There are no slow-release pellets buried in the mix, so you decide what goes in and when rather than inheriting a feeding schedule you can't see. Pair it with Aroid Food and the whole thing is yours to run.
Treated for fungus gnats: the mix contains Acelepryn GR, a granular horticultural insecticide included to help control fungus gnat larvae in the growing media. We'd rather deal with them in the mix than leave you to find them later.
Use it when you're repotting, or when a new aroid arrives in a mix that's staying dense and wet for too long. Nursery mixes are built for commercial growing conditions — sometimes they translate perfectly to a home, sometimes they don't. Read the mix before you replace it.
Built for aroids specifically. For everything else indoors, Indoor Potting Mix is the general-purpose one, and succulents and cacti want something grittier again — that's Cacti & Succulent Mix.
7L in a resealable bag, about 3.9kg, pH 5.5–6.
We can't ship potting mix to WA, NT, Tasmania or overseas — biosecurity rules, not our choice.
Made in Australia by horticulturalists.
Our Aroid Potting Mix is formulated specifically for aroid species such as Monsteras, Philodendrons, Anthuriums, Syngoniums, and Epipremnums. It also works beautifully for other indoor plants that thrive in airy, well-draining soil.
No. This mix is fertiliser-free, giving you complete control over how and when to feed your plants. We recommend pairing it with a liquid fertiliser during the growing season.
Charcoal helps filter toxins, improves aeration, and enhances water retention, creating a healthier root environment for your plants.
This product contains Acelepryn GR insecticide to keep it gnat-free for up to 6 months. While it is considered low-toxicity, we recommend keeping all soil products out of reach of curious pets.
Yes. While it’s designed with aroids in mind, many other indoor plants also love the aeration and drainage this mix provides.
The added insecticide targets fungus gnat larvae in the soil, breaking their life cycle and keeping your mix pest-free for up to 6 months.

Potting Mix is an easy one to forget about. It can be hard enough with all the different watering schedules, feeding, managing pests, considering placement...your new plant will come with potting mix included so at least that’s covered...right?
