INFO:
Aroids and other Tropical Plants need chunky tropical soil to mimic their natural growing environment up in the trees. This PREMIUM Tropical Soil (that is technically a "soil-less" blend) is composed of the absolute best ingredients money can buy. This original TROPICAL SOIL mix is the PERFECT growing medium for all ALL Tropicals, including Aroids and Epiphytes such as Hoya, Dischidia, Philodendron, Monstera, Anthurium, Alocasia, Calathea, Peperomia etc. This Tropical substrate is different from our other tropical soil listing as it does not contain coconut chunks or peat moss. If you would like it "gritty" without the coconut coir, let me know.

INGREDIENTS:

◽Coco Coir
◽Tree Fern Fiber
◽Micro Orchid Bark
◽Aged Forest Products
◽Grade-A Perlite (2 sizes)
◽Organic Pumice (3 sizes)
◽Horticultural Charcoal
◽Fossilized Bat Guano
◽Earthworm Castings
◽Norwegian Kelp Meal
◽Oyster Shell
◽Dolomite Lime (for pH adjustment)
◽Mycorrhizae

COST BREAKDOWN
The Tree Fern Fiber is RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE AND INSANELY HARD TO FIND AT TIMES. However, it's such an amazing ingredient because it doesn't break down quickly and provides excellent aeration. The Micro Orchid Bark is another expensive ingredient that I absolutely love so it's in there as well. Heck, now that I think about it, all of the ingredients are kinda pricey so think of this as the "Rolls Royce" of potting mediums. If you want the best for your plants, this is it. If you want the best and not have to pay as much, check out the version with coconut chunks: https://etsy.me/2Sf7l0Q Coconut breaks down after a year and isn't suited for everyone. However, you'll probably need to repot by then anyway so the coconut chunk option is still a good one.

Etsy Purchase Protection: Shop confidently on Etsy knowing if something goes wrong with an order, we've got your back for all eligible purchases — see program terms

The estimated delivery time is based on 1-4 BUSINESS day handling time of the shipping service selected and when we receive cleared payment. A business day is any day, Monday thru Friday. A business day is NOT Saturday or Sunday nor any holidays. Please know that I work until 3am daily and do the very best I can to get your orders out in a timely manner.

Please note that we can not be responsible for transit times. Once a package leaves my hands, I no longer have control over what happens and cannot be held responsible for someone else's actions (i.e. the post office taking FOREVER for it to get to you or them playing soccer with your package). "Transit time" is the time it takes from when the package leaves my hands until it is delivered to you. The transit/delivery time listed under the "shipping info" tab is an ESTIMATE ONLY, and is NOT a guarantee.

There are three options. First class is the slowest and can take anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks and package weight must be under 16oz. Priority mail *usually* takes 3-5 days but sometimes it can be much, much longer. Express 1-2 day is the ONLY guaranteed service. If you need a package by a certain date, you must order with express shipping. If you'd like to use this service, shoot me a message so that I can adjust the listing for your purchase.

YES! Starting 4/1/2019 we will accept international orders. I have shipped many times to other countries without a hitch but it doesn't come without some risks. Seeds, for the most part, are always allowed. However, plants and soils may not be allowed so purchase at your own risk. I can not be held responsible for packages destroyed by your customs agents. If shipping plants international, you must use priority and they will always be shipped bare root. Plants delivered to any EU country are not able to return for any reason due to their perishable nature.

I had a hard time trying to figure out what was the best aroid mix to get or make. I landed on trying this mix and absolutely love it! My plants love it and I've been using it for a few months and purchased 2 bags and soon another one. The best value is being able to ask for help from Erin. She is so quick, knowledgeable, and very friendly! I would 100% recommend this shop to anyone.

Soil health is the foundation of healthy plants. Many people spend a lot of time and money finding rare and beautiful plants. Then, they often use the “wrong” soil for their plants. They watch those plants not thrive or worse, die. Erin makes each soil by hand and sells many different soils, all the highest quality possible with premium ingredients. She knows what your plants need and creates the perfect soil for your plants. My soil is a custom mix, and it was no problem for her to make. If your plants could talk, they’d ask for this soil!
