Thanks for the advice Evan.
I'll take out the peat moss and add the perlite.
I do not see moisture crystals in the soil but one of the bags (I am pretty sure I had used that one in the mixture I just dumped) is a moisture control mix produced by Miracle-Gro.
I needed the moisture control soil for my Clivias and you are right; the nursery from which I bought the plants gave general advice about planting them outdoors.
I have orchid bark in the mix and I used potting mix that does not mention anything about moisture control.
I have already repotted them with that soil and the peat. No water.
I'll go to the local nursery tomorrow and pick up some potting mix and perlite.
They are getting a lot of light where they are now and it is the indirect light that I have read that they love so much.
Before this set I had a 3' Black Magic Elephant Ear. Bloody thing died on me after too much exposure to direct light.
So, I have traded spots with my wife's plants since hers require indirect light and have been much better than mine. Can you sense the envy?
Sincere appreciation! Signing off!
