Substrate for Tropical Plants

In this category you will find various substrates and specialized, permeable substrate for tropical plants. We offer ready-made mixtures of permeable substrate for exotic plants and other plants that do not like water stagnation in the pot. The main feature of the permeable substrate is to ensure the free flow of water through the pot, but depending on the needs of our plant, we can meet with mixtures with various other properties.

Permeable Substrate for Tropical Plants

Soil alone for tropical plants is not enough. Exotic plants such as Calathaa, Syngonium of Wendlandia, Skrzydłoflower, Alocasia Black Velvet, Alocasia Dragon Scale, Philodendrons, Monstera that like moisture usually do not tolerate stagnant water in the ground, the stagnation of which causes rotting of the roots and the death of the plant. They usually grow in tropical forests, where there is high air and soil humidity and high temperatures. They need a permeable substrate that will provide air access to the roots of the plant and at the same time will keep the humidity at the right level. It is worth remembering about an additional layer of drainage at the bottom of the pot.
