About the Monstera & Philodendron Soil Mix:
This blend combines the perfect levels of chunky aeration with medium moisture retention. Our Coarse elements of Bark, Zeolite, Lava Rock and Perlite mean there are plenty of air chambers in the mix perfectly suited to the medium/thick roots of Monstera and Philodendron. As tropical plants they do prefer medium moisture retention in our homes, meaning the mix will stay lightly moist for about a little over a week, and will slowly dry off to allow your plant time to get used to a short dry period before re-watering.

What Monstera and Philodendron want from their soil mix:
The one important rule for a Monstera and Philodendron soil mix, is that they want a chunky mix. A good soil for these plants provides plenty of aggregate and bark for roots to crawl around as they grow. The mixture should retain moisture evenly throughout the pot and dry out steadily in a medium period of time (1.5 - 2 weeks) whilst also being very well draining. These plants like moisture but not muddy soil. The aggregates in our blend helps to create a loose mix which avoids dense soil conditions, which is likely to lead to root rot. Monstera and Philodendron also do not mind being left in dry substrates for medium amounts of time (1 - 1.5 weeks in bone dry soil). However if left for too long in dry soil their roots can wilt and become non-functional,  increasing risk of root rot after the next watering. As Monstera and Philodendron are very susceptible to root rot, we have provided multiple levels of protection against accidentally overwatering. 

As with all of our Premium mixes a population of positive bacteria, mycelium and microfauna is present in the substrate to create the potted ecosystem which keeps your plant healthy! Enough nutrients for the first 2 months of growth is also in every bag along with our specialist nutrient storage component, Zeolite.

Issues with mounting the shelves, big time
Color: Brown, Size: 55.1"W x 10.3"D x 1.8"H, Set of 2
I bought the 55 inches floating shelves. I have an area above my linen cabinet that I wanted to utilize for storage and books in my hall. I did my measuring, figured out spacing. Marked everything off to do 3 total shelves (bought two boxes). A couple of spots screwed into a stud, and the others I had to install the plastic mount things. I had used those before so I just did the predrill then tapped them in, finished off by screwing the mount flush with the wall. I grabbed the first bracket and decide to start with a screw that had one of the inset mount things (sorry the correct term is escaping me). It never once occurred to me to check that the plastic mount and screw would not work. We’ll surprise! I tried and tried to get the screw to screw thru the mount, the mount is the rigid plastic thoe that is supposed to split when the screw goes through. Well something wasn’t engineered properly on the mounts cuz they would not thread a screw. They would not split. I even went into my garage and tried different screws I had to see if maybe it was just too big…or something. Then I started just prying it apart and could not get it to split like it’s supposed to, the tip piece broke off before the piece split. I have never had this situation before. I now have a bunch of these, that leave huge holes in my wall, where I measured out for a shelf to go. I’m not a huge DIYer so now I’m trying to figure out if I can salvage this situation but I’m afraid that if I get different mounts they will be too small for the already created holes, or they will fit the hole but because it’s screwing into dry wall, the drywall already has threads from the other mount, will it strip if the threads aren’t 100% the same. Oooooor am I going to have to patch up and paint that wall, then buy new mounts and attempt to try again….which I will now have to set the shelves at a different height so I don’t screw into the same holes I patched since I don’t trust them…..ugh. I practically want to cry. lol. So if I could give this negative stars I would! I feel stupid due to these having such great reviews by others. Comments of how easy they were to install. I will also mention that a few others mentioned the metal bracket that is mounted to the wall then the shelf slide onto is very flimsy. I could bend it side to side with my hands. The only reason I decided it would be ok is that there are a total of 8 screws in the mount, figured it would be stable enough.

Decent Quality. Look Great
Color: Brown, Size: 35.7"W x 10.3"D x 1.8"H, Set of 2
These are easy to install and the shelf has a good quality look. The only thing lacking is the quality of the bracket. The arms are thin metal and I feel like it won’t hold much weight.
