Our chunkiest, airiest mix, made for plants that hate wet feet.

Super Chunky Orchid Mix is a free-draining, soil-less mix with big chunks for amazing root aeration. Pre-buffered coco husk chips, fir bark, pumice and LECA leave open pockets around every root, so water runs through instead of sitting in the pot. It's made for orchids, anthuriums, alocasias and other rot-sensitive tropicals.

Best for

• Orchids like Phalaenopsis and Cattleya
• Anthurium and alocasia
• Bromeliads and other epiphytes
• Rot-sensitive tropicals
• Plants in self-watering pots

Haven's pick: We love this one for alocasia, anthurium, and plants in self-watering pots.

Why plant parents love it

• Maximum airflow. The chunkiest texture in our lineup keeps oxygen moving around the roots.
• Free-draining. Extra water drains straight through, which helps lower the risk of root rot.
• Peat-free. A coco-based blend with no peat moss.
• Pre-buffered coco. Treated so the coco won't tie up the calcium and magnesium your plants need.
• Mycorrhizae added. Beneficial fungi that partner with roots to support healthy root growth.
• Ready to use. No rinsing or mixing. Open the bag and repot.

Ingredients

Pre-buffered coco husk chips, super chunky perlite, fir bark chips, LECA, charcoal chips, pumice and mycorrhizae fungi.

Watering tip

This mix dries out faster than regular potting soil. Water thoroughly, let it drain all the way, and check again sooner than you would with bagged soil. If your plant likes to stay a little moist, try our Chunky Aroid Mix instead.
