Does some one have recommendations for the composition of Anthurium potting mix. I know that it needs to be free draining etc but more info would be appreciated

g'day genny,

very similar needs to orchids, so most if not any of the orchid mixes will do the job, or if you can create you own similar product that will do ie.,. course washed sand, chipper stone the very small stuff, broken bricks, shells maybe mix some sphagnum moss adn some old potting mix in as well.

the anthurium farm up rocky way grew all his in raised beds that were suspended hammock style things using bird wire as the support to hold the mix in, and he used pegs to attach the wire to so it was up off the ground.
