🌬️ HiGrow® Aroid AirLite Forest Blend – Ultra-Aerated Premium Mix for Aroids

Light, Airy, and Expertly Crafted for Maximum Root Oxygenation

Designed for aroids and tropicals that thrive in exceptionally well-aerated substrates, Aroid AirLite Forest Blend delivers superior airflow and rapid drainage. This premium blend is ideal for growers looking to replicate the airy, organic conditions of the forest canopy floor where roots require space to breathe and expand freely.

Combining buffered fine coco, chunky coco chips, fine and coarse perlite, and a carefully balanced portion of LECA, Aroid AirLite provides a feather-light, porous structure that minimizes root rot risks and supports vigorous, healthy root systems.

This mix is naturally very dry and fast-draining, making it especially well suited for growers who prefer submerging or flood-and-drain style watering methods, including hydroponic enthusiasts.

This mix is perfect for collectors and hobbyists aiming for fast-growing, robust aroids with superior root zone oxygenation.

Aroids and tropical plants requiring fast drainage and high aeration in their substrate.

Aroid AirLite is the most aerated of our three specialized aroid blends — for those who prefer a super-light, quick-drying medium. Can be used alongside Aroid Classic or Aroid AquaMax depending on moisture needs.
