About the Monstera & Philodendron Soil Mix:
This blend combines the perfect levels of chunky aeration with medium moisture retention. Our Coarse elements of Bark, Zeolite, Lava Rock and Perlite mean there are plenty of air chambers in the mix perfectly suited to the medium/thick roots of Monstera and Philodendron. As tropical plants they do prefer medium moisture retention in our homes, meaning the mix will stay lightly moist for about a little over a week, and will slowly dry off to allow your plant time to get used to a short dry period before re-watering.
What Monstera and Philodendron want from their soil mix:
The one important rule for a Monstera and Philodendron soil mix, is that they want a chunky mix. A good soil for these plants provides plenty of aggregate and bark for roots to crawl around as they grow. The mixture should retain moisture evenly throughout the pot and dry out steadily in a medium period of time (1.5 - 2 weeks) whilst also being very well draining. These plants like moisture but not muddy soil. The aggregates in our blend helps to create a loose mix which avoids dense soil conditions, which is likely to lead to root rot. Monstera and Philodendron also do not mind being left in dry substrates for medium amounts of time (1 - 1.5 weeks in bone dry soil). However if left for too long in dry soil their roots can wilt and become non-functional, increasing risk of root rot after the next watering. As Monstera and Philodendron are very susceptible to root rot, we have provided multiple levels of protection against accidentally overwatering.
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.

Perfect mix, instantly got 2 new leaves on my monstera
Aye, my new Thai loves it (some other plants as well) - chunky, does hold some moist but not too much and not too long. One new leaf a month pretty good result.
A great mix my monstera seem happy enough so far good price for the amount competitive
Seems like a great mix, just repotted my monsteras using this blend. Good drainage.
Love the monstera blend soil. And so do my plants! Thank you, just ordered another 30l!
Big Cheese and Little Cheese have never been so healthy and happy as they have been since we repotted them with Soil Ninja's specialist blend. Leaves are abundant and healthy, large and well-formed, and we are the proudest plant parents you can imagine.
I would recommend Soil Ninja to everyone, and it will be my go-to for any repotting I do in the future, whether it is a Monstera or other plant in our happy family.
Happy plants!!
Lovely soil, repotted all my monsters and they're all very happy 😊

Brilliant. From order to delivery to the soil combination and quality!!
I bought this on recommendation but miscalculated and I've enough to keep me going for some considerable time! It is a good loose mix and so far my repotted monstera are doing very well with some new leaves appearing.
All good thank you
The best place to go for soil! 10/10 🙌🏼
My monsteras have already sprouted two new leaves after being repotted. Great mix! Shipping was super fast and it was well packaged. Will definitely order again
Brilliant
As ways can depend on Soil Ninga to grove my plants what they need , repotted my big cheese plant and already two new leaves
I’m a newbie to this as I usually have cactus and succulents but trying this with a Florida ghost philodendron.I look forward to see how it grows.Looks very good quality and price was good.
Perfect for my monsteras, epipremnums and philodendrons.
Best soil on the market!!
My old Monstera has finally started putting out new leaves. Before repotting, it looked quite sad, which was entirely my fault. Since repotting it into the Monstera Mix, it has finally started to recover and thrive. I’m absolutely delighted with the results and very happy with this soil mix.
Great soil. Now have very happy plants thank you. Good delivery time also
