Repotting the monsteras

Orchid mix, potting soil, sand, perlite? How chonky does it need to be?
Best Answer
I do it on vibes and feelings. Normally 1 handful of orchid bark, 2 handfuls of perlite, and then 2 hands of soil and then try and see how it looks. (That's where the vibes and feelings come in) and if you think I'm joking ask @BehattedLlama basically the same spiel.
Repotme.com is a great site for orchid care. Their pots are a bit expensive but the soil that they sell is great
I usually do equal parts of each and the soil comes out very chunky and airy. I’ve never used sand though but maybe equal part of it too
@Hpg87 thank you! I hope to get an orchid soon. This is for my Monstera, which isn’t currently happy in it’s situation and it’s still very young.οΏΌ
@AMG thanks!!
@AMG I also hear they like terra cotta. @RJG what say you? You have one of my favorite monsteras on here. Herman, right??
@Mojo ohhh I totally misread that! Lol. I just have my monstera in regular soil. They like to be compact in their pot. :)
