What soil should be used to grow Chinese evergreen

1. Soil selection

Peperomia likes loose, fertile, humus-rich, well-drained sandy loam. During the maintenance process, we try to avoid using heavy clay soil, otherwise it will affect the growth of the plant or cause root rot.

2. Mixing

In daily maintenance, we can use leaf mold or peat, clay, river sand or perlite and mix them in a ratio of 4:3:2. After mixing evenly, disinfect it and keep the soil at about 40% moisture content. This way it can be maintained and cultivated normally. When preparing the soil, in order to maintain good fertility of the soil, decomposed organic fertilizer can be added to the soil as base fertilizer. It can only grow properly if suitable soil is used.
