What Soil Is Best for fern arum?
The optimum soil for your zanzibar gem is a well-draining potting mix. This plant can survive in a variety of soil acidities but seems to do best in soils with a pH value of 6-7, so somewhat acidic. Because it needs soil which will not become water-logged, heavy clay soils are not suitable. Instead, a soil with a high amount of perlite or sand would be preferable. Zanzibar gem will struggle if the soil can not drain water effectively, so it is advisable to use a pot with good-sized drainage holes in the bottom to prevent this.
