Sponge rock, also known by the name expanded perlite, is a very common ingredient in orchid mixes. Sponge rock decreases compaction of mix, increases aeration and retains moisture.

This is a commercial mix that we at Tropiflora have custom made 50 yards at a time. We use this formula because #1 it works for us and #2 it is economical.
Anyone can mix their own potting media and we encourage you to do so in order to best suit your needs. However, if you wish to use our proven mix, we are more than happy to oblige!
Here is the formulation:
- 30% Canadian Peat
- 30% Green Bark
- 30% Hardwood Chips
- 10% Perlite (though this can vary with availability of materials).
It also includes 3 pounds of minor elements per yard and has a pH level of 6.0 to 6.5. This mix allows good air access to the root zone, good moisture retention without getting soggy, long pot life, and good substance for holding plants upright.
Note: A one quarter cubic foot bag of soil should fill about half a dozen 6 inch Azalea Pots.

Gunnar T. Super quick draining mix that holds humidity well while maintaining root ventilation. Reccomend for any bromeliad growers.

Michelle H. I'm very new to bromeliads, and just re-potted a few I purchased at Tropiflora. They all seem very happy in their new digs.

Tropiflora Succulent Mix – While we call this our ‘succulent mix’ we use this for many more things around the nursery. Succulents thrive in it under our rather wet, humid conditions and so do many plants such as terrestrial bromeliads, tuberous Arums, and others. It is a good quality mix that we have custom made for us in 50 yard loads.
The formula is:
- 20% Canadian Peat
- 45% small Fir Bark
- 35% coarse Perlite (Sponge Rock)
It has a pH of 6.0.

Janett S. I started using this mix about 3 years ago and love it. It was time for me to repot many of my plants that I had learned were succulents. When I recycled the soil that I was using, I mixed the succulent mix with the recycled soil and my plants love it. They are healthier; leaves are stronger and brighter: and the flowers seem to bloom longer. I started using it for all my plants and trees. The mix adds the extra nutrients and lightens the soil for oxygen. Try it and you will continue using it and experimenting with it as I did.
