The search for the perfect substrate is at the core of our philosophy. Over more than two years, we researched, tested, and refined multiple formulations to create substrates tailored to the specific needs of each plant. This in-depth work was carried out between Thailand and France, under real growing conditions, with extensive testing focused on drainage, aeration, water retention, and root health. The final formulation of our substrates is completed in France. All our substrates are then prepared and packaged in our greenhouse in the Paris region, under strict quality control, ensuring reliable, high-performance, and long-lasting growing media.

How our Anthurium substrate works

This substrate has been specifically formulated to meet the needs of Anthurium and related plants (aroids with aerial or semi-epiphytic root systems).

Its composition provides a precise balance between drainage, aeration, and moisture retention, which is essential for healthy root development in Anthurium plants, whether juvenile or well established.

Thanks to its light, airy, and stable structure, the roots benefit from excellent oxygenation while maintaining controlled moisture levels.

This effectively limits the risks of excess water, root rot, and fungal diseases, while promoting healthy, vigorous, and long-term growth.

A substrate inspired by the natural habitat of Anthurium

Anthurium are native to humid tropical forests of Central and South America, where they grow primarily as epiphytic or semi-terrestrial plants in organic-rich, highly aerated, and naturally well-draining environments.

This substrate is directly inspired by these natural conditions in order to recreate an environment close to their original habitat, while remaining perfectly suited for container cultivation.

Anthurium care recommendations

Water when the surface of the substrate begins to dry, without ever allowing standing water at the bottom of the pot. A simple finger test helps assess moisture levels between waterings.

Anthurium thrive in bright indirect light, high humidity, and excellent air circulation, while being protected from cold drafts.

Regular but moderate fertilization, combined with a suitable substrate, promotes healthy foliage, well-defined veining, and balanced growth.

How to use the Anthurium substrate

Gently remove the old substrate from around the roots by lightly pressing the pot to release the root ball. Rinse the roots with lukewarm water to remove remaining residues and inspect them, trimming any damaged parts if necessary.

Add a layer of substrate to the bottom of the pot, position the plant in the center while ensuring that the crown and aerial roots are not buried too deeply.

Lightly firm the substrate to stabilize the plant without compacting it, then water thoroughly to encourage healthy root establishment.
