The mix your aroids actually want. Molly’s Aroid Mix is a chunky, soil-free potting blend designed for tropical houseplants that hate soggy roots. This well-aerated mix drains fast, resists compaction, and keeps oxygen flowing—helping plants like Monstera, Philodendron, Alocasia, and Anthurium thrive indoors. Proudly made in the USA, it comes in a resealable, recyclable bag to stay fresh between uses.

Ingredients

Over 20 organic + mineral components, pH-balanced and pest-free.

  • Orchid bark (fir), coir fiber & chips
  • Expanded clay, perlite, horticultural charcoal
  • Canadian sphagnum peat moss
  • Worm castings, calcitic & dolomitic limestone
  • Beneficial fungi (Rhizophagus irregularis) & bacteria (Bacillus pumilus)
  • Natural nutrients + wetting agent

Benefits

  • Stops root rot & yellow leaves – Drains quickly, resists compaction, and keeps roots from drowning.
  • Cleaner than soil – Gnat-resistant and free of fertilizers, pests, and diseases.
  • Builds stronger plants – Mycorrhizae + microbes extend root systems, improve nutrient uptake, and boost natural defenses.
  • Lasts longer – Breaks down slowly, meaning fewer repots, less plant stress, and more savings.

FAQs

1. How is Molly’s Aroid Mix different from typical big-box soils?

The difference comes down to structure and water management. Most mass-market soils are made of fine particles that compact quickly, holding excess moisture around roots. While that might work outdoors, it can be disastrous in pots, where poor aeration and waterlogging lead to root rot and declining plant health.

Molly’s Aroid Mix is intentionally built for container plants:

  • Drainage without drought – it holds just enough water while letting excess drain away.
  • Airflow where roots need it most – large, chunky ingredients create pockets for oxygen and nutrient movement.
  • Balanced chemistry – pH levels are optimized for nutrient uptake.
  • Cleaner than soil – free of pests, pathogens, and soil-borne diseases.
  • Stable structure – supports roots and anchors the plant without suffocating it.

2. Do I need to add anything to Molly’s Aroid Mix?

No additional ingredients are required. The blend is complete on its own, combining organic materials and inert minerals that cover a plant’s essential needs. It includes beneficial fungi and bacteria that extend root systems and improve nutrient absorption—features you won’t find in typical off-the-shelf soil. While you can experiment with mixing in additives, the formula is designed to stand alone as a full-service potting medium.

3. What plants is Molly’s Aroid Mix suited for?

This mix is designed for any indoor plant that benefits from a chunky, well-aerated substrate. That includes many of the most popular tropicals and houseplants—Monstera, Philodendron, Alocasia, Anthurium, Fiddle Leaf Fig, Calathea, Aglaonema, and more. By resisting compaction and encouraging airflow around roots, it supports stronger growth and reduces the stress common to container-grown plants. If you’re unsure about a specific plant, reach out—most indoor species that dislike soggy soil will do well in this mix.

4. How often should I replace the mix?

On average, once a year. That timing aligns with normal repotting cycles as plants outgrow their containers. Molly’s Aroid Mix is made with ingredients that decompose slowly, so it can remain effective for longer periods. When refreshing, don’t worry about removing every piece from the roots—material that clings to the root ball can continue to provide structure and nutrients in the new pot.

5. What’s the best way to water with this mix?

Think “thorough but infrequent.” Most plants in Molly’s Aroid Mix will need water every 1–2 weeks, depending on the plant type, pot size, and your environment. Because the mix drains rapidly, it’s important to let water evenly saturate the pot before flowing through the bottom.

For deeper hydration and healthier root growth, occasional bottom watering is recommended: place the pot in a shallow tray of water for 30–60 minutes. This allows the mix to wick moisture upward, ensuring the entire root zone is rehydrated and encouraging roots to grow downward.

6. How much does one bag cover?

A 5-quart bag goes further than you’d expect:

  • Roughly 10–12 small (4") pots
  • 6–8 medium (5") pots
  • 4–6 larger (6") pots

Because the ingredients decompose slowly, the mix lasts longer than standard soils, making it both a premium and cost-effective option for your plant collection.

Saved my neck and my desk space! Solid and stylish
Color: Walnut, Size: 42.5 Inch
I’ve been looking for a way to raise my dual 27-inch monitors, and this Fenge stand is perfect. The 42.5-inch length is exactly what I needed—both monitors fit with room to spare. It’s raised them to the perfect ergonomic height, so no more neck strain! The wood finish looks much more expensive than it actually is, and the storage space underneath is a lifesaver for hiding my docking station and keyboard when I'm done for the day. It feels very sturdy and doesn't bow in the middle at all. If you want a clean, organized desk, this is the way to go.

Decent Stand with Lots of Storage Options
Color: Black, Size: 42.5 Inch, Color: Black, Size: 42.5 Inch
Received this stand today and am very pleased. I was able to put it together in about 15 minutes . I had no issues during assembly other than that my box was missing the instructions; luckily they were relatively easy to find online when searching the brand on google. Now for the price range, this is a great bang for your buck as far as monitor stands go. It has nice heavy duty metal legs and the built in phone stand is a nice touch, but I do wish the the stand itself was made of solid wood as it does feel like cheap particle board that may or may not bow over time depending on how much weight you put on it. It's not as cheap feeling as many other stands on Amazon but I do think it would benefit tremendously if it was built with real wood. Because it has (2) shelves, one of the best things about this stand is how many places it has to store items, setup docking stations, laptops, or even small music interfaces including under the bottom shelf. However, I think that the center cubby should've had an opening in the back to allow cords/cables to pass through which would've made this stand even more versatile, the only way around that issue is to drill a hole through the back panel but at least it will be pretty hidden and not visible from the front. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase and think the pros outweigh the cons. It tidied up my desk's overall look, has (2) wide shelves, and overall sleek/modern design all for $100 makes it worth it. I would definitely buy it again but hope they improve on the shelf material, even if it does increase the price slightly.

As good as you hope it is!
Color: Walnut, Size: 42.5 Inch
I'm really happy with this stand! It perfectly well made, all the holes line up, the legs are made of metal, it's very sturdy, and the instructions were easy to follow! The stand sits on my desk perfectly flat and the wood print veneer looks good. I would recommend this stand to friends and family without hesitation.

Good, would recommend
Color: Walnut, Size: 42.5 Inch, Color: Walnut, Size: 42.5 Inch
My favorite feature is the shelf that sticks out with a ledge for phones and tablets. It feels like an elegant design and I appreciate being able to use my iPad as a second screen for my Mac mini and/or as a sort of office dashboard. The wood is mdf with veneer, so not the best materials. And I was a little disappointed with the wood tone, which leans cooler/grayer than my desk. But the tone isn’t misrepresented in the listing, it’s just not prominent. And I don’t notice once it’s on my desk and loaded with various tech. It actually blends in really well and matches my black on wood aesthetic. The legs are a really cool design too. Overall very pleased, and $90 is within the realm of reason. If you want a true wood cockpit-style riser you’d have to pay $300+.

Perfect!
Color: Black, Size: 42.5 Inch
So excited about this purchase. Looks great, so easy to put together, and functional with the shelf that comes out for your phone, glasses or whatever you want to set down while you work. Makes it so your desk isn’t just flat and boring and feels more put together. Also great at hiding cables that you might have hanging off your desk. Highly recommend!
