11K views · 510 reactions | My general purpose potting mix recipe for most aroids:

-40% potting mix or coco cuir (I love using Ocean Forest Foxfarm)
-20% fir bark
-20% perlite or pumice
-10% coconut husk
-10% worm compost

I swap out my potting mix with cactus soil whenever I repot hoyas or a snake plant and even add a handful of horticultural charcoal. If I am repotting a Fiddle Leaf Fig, I do 20% potting mix + 20% cactus soil and the rest are the same quantities. 

If a plant is prone to root rot, I decrease my potting mix to 30% and increase my fir bark to 30%. See where I am going with all this?

Depending on the type of plant, I play around with the ingredients and ratios. Remember there are many ways to do it because every household is different!
