Schismatoglottis wallichii growing medium????????


  • Hey plant peeps,

    Happy New Year!

    I recently got a Schis walli from Jon and it was beautiful.  I'm in Cali, so after about 10 days, I transfered it from the 100% PEAR-LL-ite to an aroid mix.  However, I have overheard Jon state that he used to kill these, until he figured out a growing medium that works.  Mine has since gone down hill, but is pupping.  I wouldn't say it's dead, just brown edging and a little droopy.  New leaf was smaller than the previous leaves, etc.  

    Does anyone have experience with Schismatoglottis wallichii variegated, and the ideal requirements for this plant (soil medium, watering, PH)?  I am growing in a heated greenhouse outdoors, and have plenty of other thriving plants right next to this one.  I started collecting from Mike back in 2006, and thus have been pretty seasoned over the years, though I'm always learning!  

    Any tips would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!
