HOW WE MIX OUR
SOIL NINJA SUBSTRATE
5 Components. 1 Mix. 0 Stress.
COARSE PUMICE
The structural backbone. Denser than perlite, stays put, keeps air chambers intact long after repotting.
ACTIVATED CHARCOAL
The purifier. Traps toxins, suppresses mould, and keeps the root environment clean between repots.
VERMICULITE
The moisture buffer. Absorbs water and releases it slowly — keeping Alocasia roots consistently hydrated without water-logging.
COARSE ZEOLITE
The nutrient bank. Stores and releases feed directly to roots — so every watering works harder.
LAVA ROCKS
The biology builder. Its porous surface houses the beneficial bacteria and fungi healthy roots depend on.
IN THE MIX
Five components. Each one chosen for a specific reason. Together they create the substrate we trust with every rare Alocasia we grow, in our private nursery.
COARSE PUMICE
25 %
The structural backbone of the mix. Denser than perlite, it stays evenly distributed through the pot after every watering — keeping air chambers intact exactly where roots need them.

COARSE ZEOLITE
25%
The nutrient bank. This natural mineral stores feed ions between waterings and releases them directly to roots on contact — so every fertilising session works harder and goes further.

LAVA ROCKS
25%
The biology builder. Its highly porous volcanic surface houses the colonies of beneficial bacteria and fungi that create a living, active root environment — not just a growing medium.

VERMICULITE
15%
The moisture buffer. Expands on contact with water and releases it slowly over days — keeping Alocasia roots consistently hydrated without the waterlogging that causes rot.

ACTIVATED CHARCOAL
10%
The purifier. Traps toxins, mineral build-up, and harmful micro-organisms over time — protecting the soil biology and keeping the root environment clean between repots.
