Best soils for repotting my anthurium?

Right now I have mine in just sphagnum moss, then mist the moss when the top gets dry

But I used to keep it in a mix of roughly 1/3 chunky perlite, 1/3 orchid bark, and 1/3 soil

Thanks so much for your reply. I will put it to good use.

Do you think I can switch from a soil and chunky mix to complete sphagnum moss? If I do that, will it cause my anthurium to go into shock? Would it be better to go with your first soil mix to include one third potting soil? TXS for all your help.

So far mine has been fine with the switch. I just rinsed the roots really thoroughly to remove as much soil as possible before putting it in moss.

Also, I made sure not to pack the moss too tightly. You don’t want the moss to stay super wet, just moist
