Soil Recommendation

Alocasia Soil Mix

The Canopi Plants Alocasia Mix has been crafted to meet the specific needs of your Alocasias. Hand-mixed with premium ingredients, your Alocasias will be happy and ready to thrive. Our bags are also perfect for one-off repotting jobs - they come in small sizes that are easy to handle, store, or just compost as you won't have much leftover when you're done.

The Alocasia Mix swaps is similar to the Aroid mix, but increases the coco coir and swaps the perlite for vermiculite to help retain moisture for longer. This ensures that the moisture needs of the big broad leaves of the plant are met. It also includes enough coarse materials like bark and vermiculite to make sure that the bulbous root systems have sufficient access to oxygen.
