what do you suggest for potting a ring of fire? mine is still in the nursery soil and it’s definitely holding way too much water. should i look into leca? sphagnum moss? just bite the bullet and make a homemade mix? i’ve got dr earth’s potting mix and cactus mix at home but i’m not sure they’re the right choice :/

    I like chunky, well-draining soil mixes for my philodendrons. I hate when those nursery soils stay wet forever! But I guess they need that in a hot greenhouse with supplemented airflow. I haven’t seen dr. earth’s brand myself, but I like to mix potting soil with perlite or pumice. Leca can be a good addition if you want to buy some for your supply. You can go full leca if you want, but I prefer just adding some to my soil mix to make air pockets and safely retail moisture
