Ooh that’s cool idk what to do myself I just got a heart leaf philodendron so I’m curious what people say! 😊

The app recommends potting soil+drainage, coco coir, sphagnum moss, or tropical soil.

Thank you!

I use a tropical soil mix with extra perlite 👍🏻

### GreenLeaf commented on 2024-03-26

Mine are in 50% potting soil 50% equal parts perlite/orchid bark/small lava rock.

This is my mix for all my “tropicals” (aka anything that isn’t a succulent/cactus) and everyone seems really happy.

Mines in indoor potting mix and extra pertile.
