I use this for all my aroids and it’s worked out pretty well. I do a mix of potting soil, perlite, coconut husks chips, coco coir, peat moss, orchid bark, and worm castings. It’s a little overkill but my plants love it. Honestly I think just a mix of potting soil, coconut husk chips, perlite, and peat moss would be great too.

I usually grab my plant needs from Home Depot can i find these items there?

#### Dianne K replied on 2025-07-22

Can you order off Amazon. They have great choices too

### Caroline W commented on 2025-07-22

Yes at least on their website but you’d have to get a big bag of each thing. Molly’s aroid mix on veryplants.com is also great and it’s all already mixed up
