🌱 Aroid AquaMax Tropic Blend – Moisture-Retentive Aroid Mix

Gentle, Airy, and Water-Holding – Perfect for Young or Thirsty Aroids

Aroid AquaMax is the most moisture-retentive of our three specialized aroid mixes - ideal for growers needing longer hydration windows or caring for delicate, younger plants. It’s especially useful in drier climates or indoor setups where humidity and watering are harder to manage.

Crafted from a gentle balance of fine buffered coco, spongy coco chips, LECA, fine and coarse perlite, this blend holds more moisture than typical aroid substrates while still offering the softness and airflow roots need. Its fine structure supports developing root systems, while the chip content prevents compaction and creates pockets for air movement. Whether you're nurturing young philodendrons or simply want a mix that won’t dry out too fast — Aroid AquaMax is a reliable, plant-savvy choice.

Ideal For:
Moisture-loving or younger aroids, dry environments, or growers who prefer to water less frequently.
Also excellent as a base for DIY blends where higher water retention is needed.

 🌱 Plants Include:
– Young philodendrons, baby monsteras, syngoniums, juvenile anthuriums
– Moisture-sensitive alocasias or freshly repotted specimens

– Designed specifically for aroids at different moisture needs
– Made fresh weekly in small, quality-controlled batches
– Buffered in-house, salt-safe, and free from peat or soil
