Aroid Soil

Tropicals and aroids love humidity but are often prone to root rot if overwatered  especially in dense or soggy soil. Our Aroid Mix offers perfect structure and aeration for these lush-leafed friends.

POTTING OR REPOTTING

Make sure you use a planter with drainage holes. This is your best defense against drowning your plants! Partially fill the planter with a base of your Rosy Aroid Mix.

PLANTING

Gently release your plant from its current container, carefully loosening its roots and centering it in the pot. Now fill the remaining space with more soil, leaving an inch at the top for easy watering.

WATERING

Keep water like Aroids for if you see water draining from the bottom of the planter. Your next watering should be when the top inch of soil feels dry and pot feels noticeably lighter. Always aim for a gentle, deep drink rather than frequent shorter waterings that result in thirsty plants.

TIPS:

• Biochar tends to settle, just shake bag before use.

• When your first use Rosy, you might notice it stains your hands black. It washes right off! If you notice the water in your plant saucer looks dark, it's just the biochar and it's a good thing!

• Because of the beneficial fungi in our mixes, Rosy Soil occasionally sprouts a few mushrooms. There's nothing wrong with your soil, quite the opposite!

Peat moss has been a common ingredient in commercial potting mixes since the 1960s. However, it's obtained by extracting peat bogs, which are vital ecosystems that store carbon. At Rosy, we believe there's a better way. So, we've developed our blends with alternatives that are effective and sustainable.
How is Rosy different from other soils?

Rosy’s indoor potting soil is all-natural, peat free, and made from biochar. 
We’ve consciously sourced our ingredients not only because they’re great for your plants but also because they’re good for our planet (https://rosysoil.com/blogs/news/biochar-benefits). 
Unlike traditional potting soil ingredients that are environmentally taxing, our biochar potting mix only contains natural and carbon-negative amendments.

We use carbon-negative, organic ingredients to create the best indoor plant potting mix.
Typically, these organic materials are sent to a landfill, where they release methane and CO2 — two potent greenhouse gases. But by redirecting these organic materials from landfills and stabilizing their carbon structure, we prevent the release of those greenhouse gases.
Essentially, we turn our house plant soil into a carbon sink, which means it helps to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

Biochar is nature’s soil supercharger — a form of carbon that’s created by heating organic material (like wood or plant matter) in a low-oxygen environment.
Think of it as a sponge-like charcoal made for plants. It improves soil structure, helps retain water and nutrients, and creates a thriving home for beneficial microbes. It’s also incredibly stable, meaning it stays in the soil for hundreds (even thousands!) of years — all while capturing and storing carbon that would otherwise enter the atmosphere.
Unlike peat moss, which is strip-mined from delicate wetlands, biochar is regenerative and climate-positive. It’s science-backed, time-tested, and foundational to everything we do.

Yes! You can add Rosy to your current houseplant potting soil — whether it’s an inorganic or organic potting soil mix, cactus or orchid mix, or otherwise. 
Doing so will help you refresh your old soil (https://rosysoil.com/blogs/news/does-potting-soil-go-bad) and revive its benefits for plant care. 
Alternatively, you could directly replace your current houseplant soil mix with Rosy.

Our 4 Quart bag of Rosy Aroid Soil will fill:
2 to 3 medium 6" pots
And unlike traditional indoor potting mixes, you won’t need to replace the soil every year due to compaction.
