⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

You can add other items to the same order, heavy limit only applies to items marked heavy. You can order more than the limit in one order. If you order over 10 litres combined I'll get in touch to arrange payment for overweight shipping if it's needed (rates are here)


This blend also available in 2 litre and 10 litre sizes

Which plants is it best for?


Formulated for Aroids and Hoya, suitable for all indoor plants that share the same preferences for chunky, airy, free-draining soil, including epiphytic plants such as Hoyas, Monstera, Philodendron, Pothos, Epipremnum... the list goes on! If your plants like an airy, free-draining mix, or prefers things moist to lightly moist, not wet (or you just need to protect your plants from your tendency to over-water!), this mix is for you.


What's in the bag?


A chunky, airy, free-draining ratio of Orchid Bark, Pumice, Fern Fibre, Crushed Horticulture Charcoal and the Bio Leaf Bioactive Blend.


Closer to nature


As well as the chunky goodies you can see, Bio Leaf also includes a proprietary Bioactive Blend that promotes a healthy microbial population of beneficial, miniature soil microorganisms, creating a foundation for your plant that's closer to nature.  


The non-plant-geek version? Although too tiny to see with the naked eye, Bio Leaf creates an ideal environment for tiny soil super heroes to set up home, helping increase nutrient availability to plants, reducing the risk of deficiencies and helping detoxify soil.


Orchid bark

Premium, export-quality grade orchid bark. Clean and sterile. Harder, slow-to-decompose grade lasts years. Increases soil aeration, resists compacting and adds drainage while holding water for slow-release. 


Pumice

Natural, volcanic rock. Keeps its shape even when waterlogged. Keeps soil loose. Adds aeration and improves drainage. Keeps water moving. Naturally porous. Holds water roughly twice as long as bark for slow and steady release. Compared to perlite, although pumice costs more than cheaper perlite, pumice is the superior choice for plants, offering better drainage and higher compact-resistance than perlite, as well as pumice being more eco-friendly.


Fern fibre

Superb results for aroids, hoya, orchids, ferns and other epiphytesNatural, soft, airy, fibrous and long lasting. Contains a lot of air but also holds water longer than many other free-draining substrates. Distributes moisture more evenly throughout the root zone. Sustainably harvested.


Horticultural charcoal

The over-waterers and worried-plant-parent's best friend! Helps increase aeration and adds drainage. Natural porosity holds on to necessary nutrients for roots to access. Creates a more favourable environment for good bacteria and beneficial microbes. Helps balance soil pH.


*Please note this is also called 'Bio Leaf Aroid Hoya Medium' if comparing to other sellers*

This stuff is great for my ThaiCon and any other plant that needs a chunky mix. I had a thorough read on care tips provided on the website. Thanks Anna for such informative helpful tips especially the not-so-easy plants.
Highly recommend this product. You get what you pay for and then some when your plants thrive
