Aroid & Monstera Soil Mix 70/30 – Atami
Aroid & Monstera Soil Mix 70/30 – Atami
⚙️ Type: Mineral
Nutrients are refined into an exact, known ratio and are immediately available to your plant. This gives you precise, fast-acting, consistent results every time. The tradeoff: it's easier to overfeed and cause root burn if dosing isn't carefully managed, and it doesn't contribute to long-term soil biology the way organic feeds do.
Atami - High Porosity Cocos (50L) (70% Coco + 30% Perlite)
Enhance Your Gardening with Optimal Air and Water Balance
Achieve the perfect balance of moisture retention and aeration with Atami - High Porosity Cocos (50L). This premium growing medium combines 70% high-quality coco coir with 30% perlite, offering an unparalleled environment for robust plant growth. Whether you’re cultivating a hydroponic garden, container plants, or starting seeds, our high porosity mix ensures superior plant health and vitality.
What Makes This Different From a Blank Canvas Coco
Unlike a raw, unfertilised coco base, this coco is aged, washed, buffered, and lightly fertilised with a mineral NPK 11-27-8 — the same enrichment used in Atami's own Cocos Substrate. That means it comes with a built-in nutritional head start rather than arriving as a genuine blank slate, so factor that in if you're planning to run your own feeding schedule from day one.
Key Benefits of Atami - High Porosity Cocos
1. Ideal Air-to-Water Ratio: The unique blend of coco coir and perlite provides an optimal air-to-water ratio, enhancing root oxygenation and preventing overwatering. This balance promotes vigorous root development and healthier plants.
2. Enhanced Drainage and Aeration: Perlite significantly improves drainage and aeration within the substrate. This prevents root rot and other water-related issues, ensuring your plants have access to essential oxygen for growth.
3. Excellent Moisture Retention: Despite its high porosity, Atami - High Porosity Cocos maintains excellent moisture retention properties. The coco coir component holds onto water, reducing the frequency of watering while ensuring plants remain hydrated.
4. pH Neutral: Our high porosity mix is pH neutral, making it suitable for a wide range of plants. This helps in the efficient uptake of nutrients, promoting healthier and more vibrant growth.
5. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly: Atami is dedicated to sustainability. Our high porosity cocos mix is sourced from renewable materials, providing an environmentally friendly solution for your gardening needs.

- Hydroponics: Ideal for hydroponic systems, offering excellent support and nutrient delivery.

The Civilian Pitch: Why Houseplant Collectors Love This Mix
Gnat-Proof By Design. Fungus gnats breed in the decaying organic matter found in standard peat composts. Coco coir is sterile and inert — no food source, no gnats. It's one of the simplest fixes for a gnat problem you'll find.
Built To Resist Overwatering. The 30% perlite content forcibly holds oxygen pockets even when the substrate is fully saturated, which is exactly what stops casual overwatering habits from suffocating roots in dense mud.
A Genuine Head Start, Not a Blank Slate. The mild NPK 11-27-8 charge means a freshly repotted plant has some nutrition to draw on immediately — useful if you'd rather not think about feeding in week one, though it does mean less precision-control than a genuinely unfertilised coco base.
Best Suited To:
- Variegated Monstera (Albo, Thai Constellation) and rare Philodendron (Pink Princess, Verrucosum)
- Alocasia (Frydek, Polly, Black Velvet), Hoya, Syngonium, Scindapsus, Anthuriums — all natural epiphytes that demand aggressive root aeration
- Prayer plants (Calathea, Maranta, Stromanthe) that need constant, even moisture without ever sitting wet
- High-value propagation: unrooted nodes, wet sticks, and fresh cuttings needing sterile, oxygenated moisture to root without rotting
Easy to Use
Utilizing Atami - High Porosity Cocos is simple:
- Hydrate the Mix: Soak the substrate in water until it reaches a loose, airy consistency.
- Incorporate Nutrients: Add your preferred nutrients and fertilizers once the initial charge tapers off.
- Plant Your Greenery: Introduce your plants or seeds and watch them flourish in this optimal growing environment.
