Formulated and prepared in France 🇫🇷
A substrate developed specifically for Alocasia.
For more than two years, we tested and refined our mixes between Thailand and France under real growing conditions.
The goal: achieve the right balance of drainage, aeration, stability and moisture retention for Alocasia root systems.
The final formulation is completed in France. Each mix is then prepared, quality-checked and packed in our greenhouse near Paris.

How to use the Alocasia substrate
A highly aerated mix designed to keep roots oxygenated while maintaining consistent moisture.
Alocasia generally appreciate a substrate that remains slightly moist, but their roots do not respond well to compact, constantly waterlogged conditions.
Always adjust watering frequency according to temperature, light, ambient humidity, pot size and season.
Alocasia substrate composition
A complete 100% formulation designed to combine strong aeration, drainage and consistent moisture management.
Keeps the mix very light, increases porosity and supports excellent airflow around the roots.
Provides finer structure around the root zone while maintaining good oxygenation.
Creates larger air spaces and provides long-lasting structure to the growing medium.
Support structural stability and help water and air circulate throughout the mix.
Its porous structure complements the mix and helps maintain a stable rooting environment.
WHAT THEY THINK
We changed their substrate. Apparently, their roots had a few things to say.
Monstera
Finally, a substrate with enough air. My roots had almost forgotten what breathing felt like.
Alocasia
Moist, but not waterlogged. Airy, but not dry. Finally, someone read my requirements.
Anthurium
Drainage, moisture, oxygen… my aerial roots are asking if they can move in too.
Philodendron
A coarse substrate, plenty of air around the roots… great, now give me a two-metre pole.
Homalomena
It stays fresh without turning into a swimming pool. I really wasn't asking for much.
Baby Plant
Yesterday I was in a flask. Today I have my own pot. Life moves fast.

FAQ
Would Alocasia substrate be suitable for my plant?
Alocasia and related plants originate from tropical rainforests, where they primarily grow in the soil, in substrates rich in organic matter, cool, well-aerated, and naturally draining. This substrate is directly inspired by these natural conditions to recreate an environment close to their original habitat, while remaining perfectly suited to pot cultivation and healthy, sustainable long-term growth.
When should I repot my plant?
- Roots growing out of the bottom of the pot
- A substrate that dries out very quickly between waterings
- A plant that has become too heavy or unstable, and tends to tip over
- Roots that push the plant upwards and out of the pot
- Repotting is recommended every 1 to 2 years , depending on the plant's growth.
How long can the substrate be stored?
A sealed substrate , stored in its original bag, dry and away from light, can be kept for 12 to 18 months while preserving its physical and biological properties. Once opened , the substrate remains fully usable for 6 to 9 months , provided it is properly resealed and stored in a dry environment.
A used substrate (already potted and watered) remains effective for 9 to 18 months , depending on the plant, watering frequency, and growing conditions. Beyond this period, the structure and biological activity gradually decrease; it is then recommended to repot or renew the substrate every 1 to 2 years to maintain an optimal root environment. 🌿
How much Alocasia substrate do I need?
Use the jar volume calculator available on the product page to determine the quantity you need.
