Perfect for your climbing tropicals, this grippy blend holds enough moisture while giving roots great drainage and texture to grip on to.

Environment match: Rainforest/tropical plants that may start on the ground but want to climb up trees, or trees that begin life as an epiphyte and drop roots to the ground, like many ficus varieties.

• Hoya
• Monstera (deliciosa, adansonii, etc)
• Pothos (Scindapsus and Epipremnum)
• Philodendron hederaceum (‘brasil,’ ‘neon,’ etc) 
• Ficus benjamina, alii, amstel king, elastica, and lyrata (or use our Rainforest Floor blend!)
• …and any other climbing tropical plants.

Prayer plants have a reputation for being drama queens, but we decided to fix that. This blend has special moisture-retentive properties, so it holds extra water but keeps it away from the roots until your plant needs it. The special properties of this soil will actively increase the humidity in the air as moisture evaporates, too! Also contains a special blend of 'tasties' with extra neem seed meal.

Environment match: picky fusspots that never want to dry out OR drown.

• Prayer plants (Maranta, Calathea, Ctenanthe, Stromanthe)
• Alocasia species (Regal Shield, African Mask/Polly, etc)
• Colocasia species (elephant ear)
• Crotons
• Ti plants (cordyline)
• …and any other thirsty, issue-prone drama babies 🙂
