How to care for a Potting Soil for Aroids 5L
Watering Potting Soil for Aroids 5L
Proper watering is crucial for healthy aroids. Fill a watering can, such as the ELHO 1.5L watering can , with lukewarm water and pour it evenly over the potting mix. Always allow excess water to drain through the drainage holes to prevent roots from sitting in wet soil for too long. Also check the moisture level in winter, when heating dries out the air.
Light for Potting Soil for Aroids 5L
Aroids generally need indirect, bright light to grow into full-fledged plants. Place your pot with 5L Aroid Potting Soil near a window without direct midday sun to prevent leaf burn. A bright spot near an east- or west-facing window is ideal. If there's insufficient light, consider using a plant lamp to stimulate growth.
Frequently occurring problems
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves can indicate soil that is too wet or too poor. Check if the potting soil stays soaking wet for too long. Alternate between watering and letting it dry out to prevent root rot. If there are larvae in the soil, use our sticky traps to repel fungus gnats .
Plant drips
Dripping leaves are often caused by overwatering or high humidity. Make sure the top of the potting soil dries out slightly between plantings. Don't crowd plants together; air circulation helps reduce condensation.
Plagues
Spider mites, thrips, and mealybugs sometimes find shelter in airy, aroid soil. Rinse leaves with a fine mist from a plant sprayer . Use organic products or check out our sticky traps for soil. Check the undersides of leaves regularly.
Roots along the bottom of the pot
When roots grow out from the bottom of the pot, your plant needs a larger pot or fresh potting soil. Repot with a new 5L bag of Potting Soil for Aroids, or choose a larger size right away. Our nursery pots are ideal for starting young aroids.
Brown edges on leaves
Brown edges are caused by dry air or nutrient problems. Increase the humidity with a jungle mist spray and fertilize regularly with a mild plant food. It also helps to occasionally loosen the top layer of potting soil to allow oxygen to reach the roots.
