Filtered water is recommended to water your aroids.Â
+++ Pon mix +++
The planter should always seating in water. Please choose a large saucer or container for your pot. For Pon mix all aroids are the same, as long as the water in the saucer or container dry out, you should water your plant(s).Â
+++ Other Potting Mix +++
It is really depends on the pot size, environment humidity, potting mix ingredients, and the plant type. You can use your finger to detect if the soil is wet or not, but the better way is to get a soil moisture meter.Â
Here is a general watering routine if you used our recommended tropical mix media. ( For your own potting mix, depends on the ability it hold water you need do more research about the watering)
For Monstera, Philodendron and Epipremnum:
You need wait until the potting mix totally dry out. Then watering the plant until water leaking out at the bottom of your pot. Repeat watering for three times to make sure all of your potting mix are obtain water.
*If your potting mix is not airy enough, do not watering that much, otherwise it may cause root rotten
*For high variegated Monstera (80% or more), just watering your potting mix one time and let the pot sit in water for 2 mins.Â
For Alocasia:
Alocasia like more humid environment. It will be better if you put it in a small but deep pot. Water the plant every time top 2 inch of the potting mix are dry out. Please check more frequently when Alocaisa growing new leaf, at that time it will absorb water way much faster. Â
