I haven't started mixing my own soil mix yet, but I'd probably add a bit of pearlite when you repot if I were you :) happy growing!

I have perlite, tropic soil and a little orchid bark I can use! But my orchid bark is molding???!

I would add the Tropic and pearlite, and maybe get a moss pole for the monstera
