Philodendron and Monstera Mix is a peat free potting mix designed specifically for Philodendrons and Monstera. It's a tweaked version of Jungle Mix intended to complement the finer roots of Philodendron sp. The light and airy mix allows for maximum oxygen exchange whilst retaining a lot of moisture, ensuring a healthy root system whilst avoiding rot. Worm castings in the mix add all the essential nutrients and trace minerals that your plants require and so this is a sure-fire way to start your plants off in the right way.
Designed specifically for Philodendrons.

We always aim to make sure our customers love our products, but if you do need to return an order within 14 days of purchase (not including plants*), or any items are damaged, we’re happy to help. Just email us directly at hello@growtropicals.com, and we’ll take you through the process.
Please note: we cannot be held liable for any packaging costs should the original packaging be discarded.
*Unfortunately we cannot accept returns of undamaged plants as these are perishable items and are not saleable upon return. If a plant is damaged, we will compensate for this as per our live arrival guarantee.
When placing your order, you can choose from three dispatch speeds to suit your needs: Economy (prepared and shipped within 4-5 days), Standard (3-5 days), or Express (dispatched the very next day). Please keep in mind that "dispatch" refers to the time it takes our team to prepare and pack your items before handing them over to the courier, not the total delivery time.
Shipping costs are based on your total order value and will be calculated at checkout, with free shipping automatically applied to all orders over £60. For a full breakdown of shipping prices see our Help Centre.
Additionally, to protect the health and quality of our live plants, orders containing plants are exclusively shipped Monday through Thursday. This careful scheduling prevents your plants from being stuck in a dark shipping depot over the weekend, ensuring they arrive at your door vibrant and healthy.
We could not find a close match for that. Ask us directly and a real plant person will reply.

Premium potting mix featuring a chunky, well-aerated blend with excellent drainage and moisture retention. Customers said it's "the best on the market" with plants "thriving" and showing "new growth." Though pricey, shoppers report it's "worth the money." One concern: a customer received mix with fungus gnats, though easily resolved.
It arrived in excellent condition, with some nice variegation on the leaves. It has settled in and is already sending up a new leaf.
I bought a couple of bags of this, as I had several Philos in need of potting on. I used it on seven plants, if memory serves, and all seem very happy a couple of months down the line, with new growth on all of them. The P. gloriosum in the photo has doubled in size already.
It's maybe a bit more expensive than nipping to the local B&Q for houseplant compost, but it's also specially tailored for plants that need more root aeration and better drainage, so ultimately it is value for money, as it gives the plants a better chance of growing well.
Amazing product at a really good price! My pink princess is very happy with me!
I’m very happy with my purchase, hopefully my newly repotted Thai will be.
Very happy with the service, products well packaged. Great service from UPS too.
