These ingredients have been used by Commercial Orchid Specialists for decades in Australia, South Africa and even the USA, but we have never understood why the transition to Aroids and other plants has been so slow. This mix is absolutely awesome as long as you remember to feed your plants. For best results, we recommend weekly feeding and to not use slow release fertilizer.
High-Air Inert Grow Mix
A precision, fast-draining substrate designed for oxygen-loving roots and controlled feeding programs.
This mix combines Grodan grow cubes for consistent moisture distribution, horticultural charcoal for root-zone freshness and adsorption, and coarse perlite for maximum aeration. The result is a structurally stable, inert medium that resists compaction, drains rapidly, and delivers exceptional root oxygenation.
Ideal for epiphytic and semi-epiphytic plants, this mix excels where traditional potting soils fail—preventing root rot while allowing complete control over nutrition through fertigation. Best suited for growers who prefer frequent watering and precise nutrient management.
Key characteristics
Extremely fast drainage
High air-filled porosity
Low organic content
Minimal breakdown over time
Optimized for liquid feeding
Recommended for
Orchids, Hoyas, Anthuriums, climbing Aroids, propagation, and advanced growers seeking total control of the root environment.
Note
#1 - Because this mix contains no built-in nutrients and holds limited water, it requires regular watering and feeding. Not recommended for low-maintenance plant care.
#2 - Handling time will be a bit longer for this mix as we will precharge the Grodan so the mix is ready to use upon arrival.
