I've found the bag of orchid bark that contains perlite has smaller chunks.

Worm 💩 is also a good addition to soil mixes.

To make my rooting hormone last, I only sprinkle it on the roots when repotting. I also mix it in a salt shaker with mycorrhizal inoculant which is like probiotics for plants.

Ooo good mix! I kind of just eyeball mine and also reuse dirt so it ends up being all sorts in there and also whatever I have more/less of at the time. Mostly coco coir or compost, perlite, bark, coco husk, charcoal and worm casings. I scoop out some into a tub if I want to add more of something but that’s vaguely my general mix.

@princesspitstop · Answer

@AwesomePlants I love the Better Grow Orchid mix! Just got some on Sunday from Lowe's to put my newly rooted Hoya in. 💚🪴
Yes! The salt shaker is an awesome idea!! 😁

I use Mollys Aroid Soilless mix. I use Tropical for all but they have Succulent & Orchid mixes as well. I love Ajas mix & did something very similar prior to Mollys (sans the charcoal) but if u subscribe to Mollys thru Cery Plants; a 10 qt bag is $26 & u schedule ur deliveries (dont buy on Amazon tho price higher, go to web-site) they sctually have a larger size by the yard i know im gonna talk myself into  i know its $71 but thats all ive gleaned so far. I love mixing my own but no time and less mess if i just get Mollys. Check it out and see the ingredients. I say either way ur a winner as Ajas recipe is great as well the Mollys so u cant go wrong w either IMO🫶🪴🌿

Ooh very nice!! I’ve been working on getting my chunky mix just right, too, and it has almost all the same ingredients as yours, so I feel like I’m on the right path! I’ve wondered about using clay pebbles in a more traditional mix - and you like it, I assume?! I’d love to try some Alocasias in a cache pot with pebbles but I’m so nervous to try.

@BuffCaperspurge · Answer

@Popcornjoness yeah i have 4 palms, a BofP, Ti plant and Yucca all to repot & all in 2 gal containers! Ill need a dump trucks worth whichever way i go!!! Lol
