Monstera Thai Constellation mix?

I know they need a chunky mix, but I'm wondering what y'all put in it?
(Idk if it matters but mine is mature and doesn't get extra humidity) #thaiconstellationmonstera
@RaineStorm I wished I could help you. I killed all 3 I had 😭😒πŸ₯Ί I used a chunky mix on mine that I had. My mix had extra chunky perlite, worm castings, horticulture charcoal, orchid bark, and a well draining soil. I’m missing some things that I used but can’t remember what at this time.
I used equal parts coco coir and well draining soil mix and added charcoal, perlite, and orchid bark.
I use a really basic mix for all my plants, including my monstera thai Constellation.

I get a simple soil (20L), from the store i do grocery shopping, then i add one bag of perlite (6L) and one bag of bark (10L)

We don't have orchid bark here, so i use a small pieces bag of normal bark.
I'm not using soil but I'm using lechuza pon! Mine is loving it :))
I use my own aroid mix that works for me. This is very chunky and very draining to prevent root rot. Now because it’s very chunky do mix some slow release fertilizer or add to the water once in a while.

Earthworm casting
Horticultural charcoal
Orchid bark
peat moss or cactus soil
Pumice/bonsai block/lava rock
Coco chips

I also add a little bit leca at the bottom but I don’t bottom water those plants.
