A decent sized bag. Haven't used this yet but ran my hand through it and felt moist and looks to be a superior substrate with a good mix for root growth, drainage and plant nutrients. Will save me the cost and time of making my own.

Good quality soil, nice and chunky which is great as alocasias have a tendency to rot easily
To be fair I didn’t notice much difference between this and monstera mix. I might be wrong but it looks like the same mix just in a different bag and I didn’t need to buy it as I already had the other one. Otherwise it’s a great mix.
Hi, thank you for leaving a review.
Our Alocasia mix is designed to be a little more water-retentive, with added husk, coco, and vermiculite to keep those thirstier roots happy. In contrast, our Monstera mix is chunkier and freer-draining, with more pumice and fine bark, and less coco which is perfect for plants that prefer a bit more airflow around their roots. The top of the bags might look similar but after a good mix before use, you'll notice some differences in the blends.
If you ever have any questions about which mix is best for your plants, we’re always here to help.

Good quality compost. Love the fact that it’s already mixed for me for specific plants.

Great product, feels and smells healthy even before you get to use it. Plants are doing very well in it. A great quality compost, light, great drainage and value.

Visibly good quality with good drainage

can't fault this potting mix. retains water while also being fast draining. I can water more often without worrying about root rot :D

I bought a soil mix for my anthurium and other plants. The soil is of excellent consistency. It's a bit too early to say how well they'll react to it. But I can't complain about the appearance or quality. Delivery was efficient and on time. I recommend this store.

Really good quality substrate mix. One of my favourites. My alocasia love it ! Doesn't soak at all and never have mold issue like with another substrates. Really high quality.

Always great products from Kojo. They arrive promptly and are much better than Garen Centre stuff.
I’m slowly moving my alocasias over to semi hydro but I do still have a fair few in soil and this is great, a very chunky and well draining mix but holds moisture too
