Why Peat? Why GrowPharm's Mix?

Many chunky aroid mixes drain too fast, forcing you to water constantly. Which is fine if you live in a humid climate, but not if you deal with long winters or dry indoor air.

This mix holds just enough moisture to prevent plants from drying out too fast, while still staying light and airy. Whether you’re growing in BC, Alberta, the Prairies, or even the East Coast, this mix ensures your tropical plants stay happy without extra watering hassles.

💡 "My roots are here to support your roots." Having grown in both BC and Alberta, I know how hard it is to find a mix that works across Canada’s different growing conditions. That’s why GrowPharm Philodendron Chunky Mix is designed to retain moisture where it’s needed while staying airy enough for healthy root growth—no matter where you grow.

Proudly Canadian. Locally sourced wherever possible. Made for growers from coast to coast. 🍁
