Alocasia Blend - 2.5 Liters - Soil Ninja
Using a mix of: Coco Coir, Vermiculite, Bark, Zeolite, Worm Casting, Activated Charcoal
About the Alocasia Soil Mix: This mix contains various elements that retain moisture. To balance the soil, many air-permeable components are present in the mix to allow excellent oxygen supply to the roots. We have also added bark to this mix to provide organic material for the beneficial microbes, bacteria and mycelium to live on, which in turn creates a healthy underground ecosystem for the plant to take root.
What Alocasia needs from their soil: Alocasia needs moisture in the soil. If the substrate remains dry for even a relatively short time, it can lead to leaf loss. Most components in this mix retain moisture. It is important that sufficient air is available for the roots, because they grow through a moist substrate. The Vermiculite, bark and Zeolite provide sufficient air chambers throughout the pot.
As with all our Premium Mixes, a population of positive bacteria, mycelium and microfauna are present in the substrate to create the pot ecosystem that keeps your plant healthy! Sufficient nutrients for the first 2 months of growth are provided in each bag, along with our specialist nutrient storage component, Zeolite.
Ideal for: Coffee Plant, Corpse Flower, Elephant Ear, Caladium, Colocasia, False Clover, Ludisia Discolor, Maggie, Midnight Ginger, Mimosa Pudica, Variegated Spirall Ginger, Sorrel.
