Using the mix is easy! start with removing as much of the old soil as possible. Gently squeeze the pot while holding it sideways to loosen up the plant. Run the roots under lukewarm tap water to remove the last pieces and bits.
Also, make sure to remove any dead foliage that may still be on the plant using scissors. Now your plant is ready for its fresh Alocasia soil. Add a small layer of Alocasia mix at the bottom of the pot.
Place the plant in the pot, and slowly add Alocasia soil to the sides to fill it up. Make sure that the point where the roots meet the plant is just buried under the Alocasia soil.
Lightly pat the Alocasia mix down into the pot. Make sure to water the Alocasia mix thoroughly after repotting, as this helps settle the mix and roots down.
The alocasia mix has vermiculite instead of the more common perlite. This causes the soil to stay wet for longer. Vermiculite holds moisture very well and releases it back into the soil slowly. This makes it easier to keep your alocasia evenly moist and reduces the time you have to water, leaving you with more time to admire your plant!
Most of Alocasia originates from the southeast of Asia. They are found on forest floors of subtropical & tropical areas. They love high humidity, heat & constantly moist soil that doesn’t dry out. This isn’t to say that they don’t need drainage, their roots still need to breathe well. This alocasia mix mimics that habitat
Tip! As Alocasia likes to stay moist, use a plastic or ceramic pot. Clay & other types of pots are porous, meaning they breathe out moisture. Plastic & ceramic contain moisture better.
Alocasia prefers wet soil, they are part of the aroid family but require a bit more humidity and moisture than aroids like photos, philodendrons & monstera. They prefer bright indirect light, but can’t stand direct sunlight. The main issue with alocasia care is inconsistency in the environment, once they are doing well, try not to change their care around too much.
Unlike most aroids, Alocasia will not benefit from having a moss pole to grow up to. They are self-supporting plants that grow upright.
If the pot is differently shaped (Square, oval, e.t.c.), the calculations might not be accurate. You can also check out the plant pots product pages to check their total volume.

Check out this pot volume calculator tool to calculate how much Alocasia mix you need.
The nutrients in SYBASoil will run out in ~6 months on average. We recommend refeeding by removing the top part of the soil and adding 10-20% of the volume with fresh worm castings.
You can store SYBASoil for about 2 years. Make sure to store it cool, dark and closed off. The effectiveness of the nutrients can degrade over the years. Simply add some fresh worm castings to give the soil new life.
We recommend repotting once any of these things happen:
- You see roots growing out of the bottom of the pot
- The soil dries very quickly between watering
- The plant is top-heavy and wants to fall over
- Roots are pushing the plant up and out of the container
- Every 1 to 2 years
Our packaging can be recycled at your local plastic recycling facility.
You can also re-use it for storage, or leave a little soil and use it as a propagation box!
We guarantee a 100% satisfaction! We do our utter best to give you healthy plants and amazingly fresh soil. If for some reason we fail to do this, just contact us via info@sybotanica.com

I actually can't live without these soil mixes.🥰 I just take a pot, bag of soil mix and repotting is done. I’ve noticed way faster growth. Super!
I grow many alocasias in alocasia mix since this’d turned out to be better for them. Somehow it’s way harder to me to overwater them now, when sadly I still do that in hydroponics. I mean, the mix keeps the humidity surprisingly very optional for the plant, so I use it for syngoniums too.
The universal mix it’s just my must have - that’s all. Sometimes I make it more crunchy with a grit.
I also use a semi-hydro mix only from Sybotanica. But I don’t mix it, like some people, with universal mix, since it really keeps the water then. For my plants in my conditions that’s too much.
And well, the Anthurium mix - I love it. Crunchy, light, lovely mix. I even prefer this one more than the aroid one for my philodendrons. Because this one contains a lot of bark and I see my philodendrons like it more.
I tried also calathea mix and well… again super! So just don’t think and buy some mixes 😍 you will love this solution as much as I do 🫶🏻 nice and easy 👌🏻
The package is very well-made, so you can easy open and close it 😊
Meine Umpflanzung der Alocasia hat gut geklappt. Hatte sie zuerst in einem Substrat mit etwas mehr Wasser. Eure Erde hat sie gut angenommen.
Top! Proper verpakt en zeer kwalitatief
My plants are very happy now! Have many new leaves and grow faster. Amazing effect!
Mes alocasias sont ravis de ce terreau.
Zeer tevreden over de potgronden!
Eerst gezaaid in sphagnum mos .
Na een paar weken waren de zaadjes gekiemd . Als het eerste blaadje tevoorschijn kwam , overgeplant in Alocasia mix . De plantjes doen het ongelofelijk.
Groeien snel .( reuze Alocasia/ Alocasia robusta )
