I’m having a lot of trouble finding the right soils (I’m pretty new at this). About to repot my peace Lily, and plant a Wandering Jew that has been propagating a couple weeks. Can anyone give some general recommendations for how to mix a few efficiently? These soils get so full and dense with water. Just trying to be a better plant mom lol. 🥺
Ahhhhhh!!! That’s such a pretty lily!! Trads are very easy to repot and are tolerant of most soils but lilies are a lot harder. I’ve killed 3 now and every single time, I went way too ham removing soil from the roots so I definitely would recommend NOT doing that 😅 may just want to just gently shake off what you can and then pot it up in something well draining.
1 like Wheeeeewwww if I had a nickel for every time I did that same move 😅. Really though, it’s the fault of the one that lived that one time… it set an unrealistic precedent lol. What soil did you end up using for the peace Lily?

1 like Ah! That sounds like a straight forward mix. What ratio? Is a course mix the common orchid bark? I had to emergency repot my orchid just now after finding a horror story underneath the moss. I’ve never seen anything like it. I swear, these companies (costa, heavenly) ultimately must have some bet going with one another for who can suffocate the plant fastest starting when it gets to its new home
