You can make your own for much cheaper than those bought brands. 2part orchid bark or cocoa noir, 2 parts peat moss 1 part perlite. Fyi i actually prefer cocoa noir for its consistency. But orchid bark is fine.
Chunky aroid mix. They like well draining mix
Thank you I’m still trying to find a brand
Hmmm i rmbr people here like Molly's Aroid Mix. My country has a local brand called Plants Ate My Money, can check that out too.
@Araceae thank you I was looking at that one or I believe it’s called sol
And i also like chunky perlite. That fine stuff floats to much. Ive just recently switched to that
Like @TheConservator said, you can make your own. I do, I use 5 parts coco chips, 1 part coco coir, 5 parts chunky perlite and 1 part charcoal. I mix it in a bin.
@Sunshineblu sorry, forgot the photo
Yes and I add charcoal too forgot that sry. 1/2 part
