I have been using a 50/50 mix of pumice and commercial potting soil for my
amorphophallis.
(Supersoil from Rod McLellan Co)I found that using a similar ratio of soil
and perlite made
the mix too light to hold up the growing leaf, giving it a tendancy to pop
out of the pot on
windy days. I found that vermiculite held way too much water and as such was
unsuitable
for my conditions. (San Francisco bay area)
