Big velvety leaves, long impressive petioles, huge and thick stems. These are just a few of the features our beloved anthuriums exhibit not forgetting their incredible climbing habit and impressive size this mix caters to the larger, flashier roots that they own and makes them exceedingly comfortable. Using a blend of: coco coir, perlite, bark, zeolite, activated charcoal, worm castings. This mix has been specially developed to cater to the large epiphytic roots of anthurium, with a whole lot of orchid bark to increase surface area for those roots to cling onto an slowly breakdown imitating their natural habitat but inside of a pot with extra perlite to keep aeration at its very highest and activated charcoal to keep any bad micro fauna are an microflora in check. So anthurium do tend to like extra feeding soil ninja always include worm castings to present and natural fertiliser that can be slowly broken down by the roots in a gentle manner. But this mix is certainly not just for anthurium whether it be an orchid or bromeliad or even a large epiphytic hoya a this mix is a fantastic option for them and it's strongly suggested keeping some on hand. This mix has been specially developed to cater to the large epiphytic roots of anthurium and orchids. Huge portions of bark makes up a large percent of the mixture which creates massive air chambers for roots to crawl through, as well as attaching and breaking down the bark itself. Low percentages of humus-like components (coco coir for example) means this mix will always stay loose and light even when occasionally overwatered. This mix is certainly not just for anthurium and orchids, in fact bromeliad or even a large epiphytic hoya is suited fantastically to this mix also! The most important factor for these plants is air. Many species of anthurium and orchids are found rooted into trees in the wild, so their roots are used to lots of air and not a lot of actual soil like material. However, we have added just enough of humus -like material to also cater for the anthurium that are known to grow on land. As with all of our premium mixes a population of positive bacteria, mycelium and microfauna is present in the substrate to create the potted ecosystem which keeps your plant healthy! Enough nutrients for the first 2 months of growth is also in every bag along with our specialist nutrient storage component, zeolite.
