African Violet potting soil for Pahps Male
Default

You will probably get excellent growth with that kind of mix as long as you can adapt your watering and never let it stay too wet too long. If I were going to try it myself I would add some course perlite or something to lighten the mix a little, and plan on repotting twice a year to stay ahead of the media breaking down and getting soggy. Paphs usually react well to being repotted frequently and this mix should allow for very gentle repotting.

One caution though. Don't try this mix on brachy or parvi Paphs until you are very successful using it with other Paphs. They do best with drier cooler winter conditions and the risk of staying too wet would be high.
