Houseplant Chunky Potting Mix

• Chunky Particle Blend
• Peat-Free Coco Base
• Moisture Holding Minerals
• 2-Quart Resealable Bag

Houseplant Chunky Potting Mix supports leafy indoor plants that want air around the roots without drying out in a day. This 2-quart blend combines coconut coir and husk chips with pumice, perlite, calcined clay, and expanded clay for a mix that drains well but still holds usable moisture. It is formulated specifically for repotting Monsteras, Philodendrons, Hoyas, palms, and other tropicals that hate staying soggy. We recommend it for anyone who tends to overwater a little, because the chunky structure helps roots breathe between waterings.

This mix is also handy when you’re potting jungle cacti like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter cactus, since they prefer a richer, faster-draining medium than desert cactus mixes. The varied particle sizes keep the root zone open, which can reduce gnat-friendly wet pockets in the pot. Use it straight from the bag for most aroids, or blend in extra perlite if you’re growing in low light and want it to dry a bit faster.

Product Tips

• Shake the bag before use to redistribute larger pieces and fine particles.
• Water deeply, then let the pot dry down before watering again (around every 10–14 days).
• Use the finer material that settles in the bag as a top-off layer in pots or to fill gaps around roots.
• Choose a pot with drainage holes to take advantage of the mix’s structure.
• If you’re moving a plant from heavy peat soil, tease roots gently so the chunky mix can settle in evenly.
