Anthurium queremalense - 12cm /50cm
The following aroid mix I would like to share with you is working well for my Anthurium:
- Potting Soil (30%)
- Orchid Bark (30%)
- Perlite (20%)
- Charcoal (5%)
- Worm Castings (15%)
Water thoroughly when watering to mimic tropical jungle conditions. It is best practice to keep the soil humid but never soggy.
