Variegated Aroids Potting Mix by JB Greens

Variegated Aroids Potting Mix by JB Greens is a premium, professionally formulated growing medium designed specifically for variegated aroids and all types of tropical rainforest plants. This carefully balanced mix provides superior drainage, aeration, moisture retention, and root support tailored to the unique needs of high-value variegated specimens like Variegated Monstera, Philodendron Pink Princess, Thai Constellation, Albo Anthuriums and other pink /cream/white-patterned tropicals.

Key Features & Benefits

Perfect for Variegated Aroids Because:

• Exceptional drainage prevents root rot – Critical for variegated plants with reduced green tissue and slower water processing

• High aeration supports chunky root systems – Allows aerial roots and thick rhizomes to breathe and expand

• Balanced moisture retention – Holds water long enough for weekly watering schedules without sogginess

• pH-optimized (5.8-6.5) – Perfect for aroid nutrient uptake, especially calcium/phosphorus sensitive variegates

• Sterile & pest-free – Safe for rare, expensive collections

Proven Results:

• Faster root establishment in new pots

• Reduced leaf drop during acclimation

• Better color retention in variegated patterns

• Consistent growth without cultural stress

Usage Instructions

Repotting Guide:

1. Water plant lightly 1-2 days before repotting

2. Choose pot 2-3cm larger than current (variegates hate oversized pots)

3. Add 2cm drainage layer (LECA or mesh-covered holes)

4. Fill 1/3 with mix, position plant at same depth

5. Firm mix around roots, fill remaining space

6. Water thoroughly until drain holes flow freely

7. Bright indirect light, normal humidity first 2 weeks

Maintenance:

• Top dress annually with fresh mix surface layer

• Repot every 18-24 months or when roots circle pot
