Re: Soil Mix

From: "Clarence Hammer" chammer at cfl.rr.com> on 2002.04.04 at 16:36:25(8459) I find that seedling and young Aroids in small pots of 3 to 4" do well in soilless mixes. It's the larger pots, one gallon and bigger, that I think need the aeration of more 'crunchy' stuff. I've heard good things about Metromix, but have never seen it here in central Fla. Will have to ask around. +More Again, I think it depends your climate as to how moisture retentive you need your mix to be. The peaty 'straight out of the bag' mixes are probably an advantage in less humid areas of the country. Growing under cover, or out in the yard would be a consideration too. Russ.
