# Got this beautiful ‘El Choco Red Philodendren’ on Facebook…

_Posted by エンゼルベビー💖 on 2026-07-03_

Got this beautiful ‘El Choco Red Philodendren’ on Facebook Marketplace about a week ago and I’m waiting for it to acclimate before I repot but I’m having trouble deciding what type of soil/medium to repot it in. Any suggestions? I was reading that they like Pon so I bought some but I also have LECA, or maybe a good chunky soil mix? What would be best? Also, I’d like to add a moss pole! It’s my first time owning this plant and first time experimenting with a moss pole so kinda nervous!

I struggled with mine when I first got her for about a year. She started to thrive when I put her only in moss /perlite and added the moss pole.
