Bio Leaf AROID & HOYA Potting Mix MEDIUM - 5 litre
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Why Bio Leaf Aroid & Hoya Mix?
I really hated repotting. Until now. This mix is an absolute joy to work with. Nice and chunky. Much less mess. Easier clean-up. Also seriously good for indoor plants. It's amazing what the difference a good foundation like Bio Leaf makes to your plant's health.
But this mix is FAR more than just the ingredients combined. It's also boosted with a blend of extra beneficials that reduce transplant stress and help recovery after repotting, strengthen new growth, help protect from root rot and much more. Lucky plants! I love it. My plants love it. Win win :)
Bio Leaf's Aroid and Hoya blend comes in two grades. Fine and medium. This is for the medium grade, a lovely medium to chunky blend for faster-draining and lower water retention for root health, ideal for most aroids and hoyas.
Available in 10 litres, 5 litres (this size), and 2 litres
PS: Need LOTS of substrate / potting mix? Orders over 15 litres total sometimes get too big or heavy for standard shipping rates. If your order goes over into overweight / oversize rates I will be in touch to let you know. I won't incur any costs without your okay - Anna :)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The best chunky potting mix. I love this blend, super fun to mix and use, and so chunky which my aroids love so much, Would recommend forever." Tara Mannix
Which plants is this mix for?
Formulated for aroids and hoyas but suitable for all indoor plants that share the same substrate preferences, including hoyas, monstera, philodendron, pothos, epipremnum, scindapsus. the list goes on! If your plant likes an airy, chunky, free-draining mix, and prefers lightly moist, not wet or waterlogged conditions, this mix is an ideal match. Also superb if you're worried about over-watering and want to reduce the risk of root rot as it maintains plenty of air even when freshly watered.
Why is Bio Leaf different?
Our houseplants may not be in their natural habitat - where they'd get all the organic extras that plants benefit from outdoors - but by giving them Bio Leaf, it brings indoor plants closer to nature so they don't have to miss out.
Bio Leaf is more than just a done-for-you, pre-mixed blend of the ingredients you can see. It's also about what you can't see. At least not until you've switched your plants to Bio Leaf. Then you'll see first-hand how a potting mix can get raving 5 star reviews.

⭐STRESS PROTECTORS
A custom blend of 3 calcium sources silica (known as Nature's Bodyguard), to boost plant stress tolerance and help recovery after repotting.
⭐PLANT AMINO ACIDS
Organic plant proteins that help plants produce chlorophyll , boosting photosynthesis, plant growth and soil health. Helps plants grow bigger, stronger and more dense. Supports better use of nutrients from the soil, improving soil fertility and reducing build-up of unused fertiliser salts, reducing the risk of fertiliser burn.
⭐OCEAN MINERALS
A blend of marine extracts, naturally rich in plant growth hormones that boost growth in general but in particular supports new root growth. Helps resistance to stress, especially transplant stress following repotting.
⭐pH BUFFERED
Provides the slightly acidic pH houseplants prefer. Helps maintain the ideal 'Goldilocks Zone' where nutrients are most available for plants to uptake. Helps naturally protect against harmful pH swings caused by fertiliser salts, natural decay and decomposition over time, extending the life of the potting mix.
