✱ ✱ ✱ My Aroid potting mix is: ✱ ✱ ✱
• 25% - 30% orchid bark mix
• 25% - 30% potting soil
• 25% perlite / pumice
• 10% horticultural charcoal
• 10% worm castings
Percentages don’t have to be exact - just have a look at the end result and make sure the moisture retention components aren’t more than 30%-ish of the mix!
