Soil recommendations ⁉️

I personally use any potting mix I can find for cheap and I mix a decent amount of orchid bark, perlite, and some worm castings in it. I also prefer to chop my orchid bark down smaller with my small wood chipper, but I don’t know that it’s super necessary unless you get super chunky stuff like I do.

Foxfarm is baked and has no pests in the soil. Very high in nutrients

Sol or Mollys chunky aroid mixes are good store bought

Fox farm is great or you can make your own. Equal parts orchard bark, Sphagnum moss, perlite, and good quality potting soil (fox farm)
