Aroid.
A plant belonging to the Araceae family, which includes many familiar indoor foliage plants.
What it means for your plants
Monstera, pothos, and peace lilies are aroids, but family membership does not mean identical watering or light requirements. Match care to the actual species and its growing environment.
IN PRACTICE
A peace lily usually needs a different moisture routine from an aroid growing in a very coarse climbing-plant mix.
Put it into practice
Understand bark, mineral amendments, and moisture-holding ingredients in potting mixes for monstera, pothos, and other aroids.
