What Soil Is Best for arrowhead vine?

Arrowhead plant prefers acidic soil with rich humus and good drainage with a pH value of 5.5-6.5. The soil should be kept moist, especially in spring and summer. Watering should be reduced in autumn and winter to keep the soil almost dry. The soil should not be completely dry or too moist; root rot is likely to occur when the soil moisture is consistently too high. Choose a loose and breathable culture medium, such as a mixture of peat, leaf mold, and coarse sand (or vermiculite). Soil used for growing African violets is also applicable.
