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.

Please Note:

Great product, reliable quality!
Size: 9.8ft, Size: 9.8ft
I moved into a new place with wood stairs. There’s a landing step that is invisible at night - it just looks like the floor below the step. Of course, one can only determine a stair to be invisible at night after one misses said stair, falling, twisting ankle and foot, lying on floor cursing and crying for help from the husband at 11pm in the dark. I used painters tape for a couple of weeks. Again, not so helpful at night but there was some distinction. I knew I needed to light this step up to avoid future slips on the invisible step. I love Govee products. I have a Govee metal tall skinny lamp thing which is where I learned about this gummy, straight, light tube that they make. I really did not want the light strips that were cheaper w the separate little lights on them since this was going under a stair and you could see the underside of the stair clearly from our lower living room whilst sitting on the couch. This product was SUPER easy to install. I love that you can cut it to size (though if you need exact I would go with the Govee light strips w the little lights there’s more cut areas closer together). I love that I already have the Govee app and it connected relatively easily (turning things on/off, using airplane mode and unplugging will get you connected). My 2 gripes about Govee… 1. Please figure out how to make strips that you can cut and connect - I want to be able to configure a corner or different shape besides just a straight line. I also want to be able to connect multiple lines to one adapter (I had a cheap one that could do this but I was afraid it would burn my house down). I paid $$$ for a single step and would like to have been able to use the rest of my strip for another step but instead it’s just useless. 2. I wish it dimmed a little more - the 1% is really bright in the dark. This strip is VERY bright. Anyways, love my step and it’s safe to take the painters tape off and have it be a normal step.

Bright, with great diffuser
Size: 16.4ft
This is a nice, flexible light with a good diffuser. The tape is sticky, so make sure you want this to be permanent, because it's likely to damage wall paint when removed. Lot's of color, pattern, and dynamic light options with the software. My last Govee light strip had the green LEDs burn out after a year, hopefully that's not the case here. I will update this review if that happens. These are pretty pricey, so hopefully they're durable!

Awesome lights just know that they are neon colored and very bright!
Size: 9.8ft
These lights were very easy to install. Very much more flexible than rope lights or even desk lights. They look awesome on my cabinets if I do say so myself….. also know that it wherever you put them is where they’re going to stay… for eternity. Adhesive is so strong that when I had to remove one, I had to use a knife and cut the adhesive off of the actual light itself and leave the adhesive behind or it will tear all the paint off of my wall. It’s a good thing that they’re very strong adhesive wise. Just make sure that you know exactly where you’re putting it and that you have measured properly and if you’re going to cut it, make sure that you do that before you start putting it up. Also, a big deal is that these are neon colored and very bright! If you are trying to match something like dream view, for instance (I did) they will not match with the other lights at all not even close. They don’t even match the desk lights that you see in the video along my countertops. I have to turn the brightness down or it overpower the entire kitchen and other lights.

Super Bright and Even – These LED Strips Are a Game-Changer
Size: 9.8ft
I’ve been using the Govee COB LED Strip Light Pro for a while now, and honestly, they’re unlike any other LED strips I’ve tried. They’re ultra bright—so much that they actually feel like regular overhead room lighting. That’s a big deal if you’re trying to light up a whole wall or create even, direct lighting without harsh spots. I was really impressed by how even and clean the light spread is; there are no visible dots or hotspots, which makes them perfect for wall-washing or under-cabinet setups where you want that smooth glow. One thing I noticed is that the adhesive is decent, but not super strong. At first, I wasn’t thrilled, but then I realized it’s kind of a good thing—especially if you ever want to remove or reposition them. Since the tape isn’t overly aggressive, it won’t rip up your walls or leave a nasty residue. That’s a win for renters or anyone who likes to switch things up. The packaging felt premium, and the colors pop—whether I’m using them for ambient vibes or cranking them up for brightness. The Govee app is easy to use, and the built-in scenes with smooth animations make it fun to switch up the mood quickly. Now, here’s the real talk: these lights are expensive, no doubt. But if brightness is your top priority, I haven’t found anything better on the market. They really do stand out for being strong enough to replace traditional lighting in certain setups. The color accuracy is good overall, but when I use DreamView, I notice it’s not perfect—mainly because you can only set 6 zones per strip. That limits how detailed the color mapping can get, especially on longer runs. So if you’re going for ultra-precise RGB sync, it’s not flawless. But for everyday brightness and evenness? These are hands-down the best I’ve used.

Awesome set of lights!
Size: 16.4ft
Great example of you get what you pay for! These lights actually stay stuck where they should unlike cheaper versions that peel off over time. The remote is very easy to control and there is a massive variety of colors and moods to choose from - something for everyone! Adds just the right mood for whatever you’re looking for.
