With a hollow structure of the media, the circulation of air and drainage run smoothly. Also the media is also required to damp and wet.
In essence, the media should be to save water and not easy to condense. Solid media causing stagnant water so that the low air aeration. Symptoms appear, the leaves and stems wither. Healthy roots are white and have fine hairs. If aeration is low, white roots turned brown and then black. Reduced the number of root hair was not even there. Yet it serves to absorb nutrients. In addition to aeration problems, solid media are also invited bacteria and fungi causing decay.
The role of media is very aware of the planters caladium. Of coverage in three Countries Trubus, media selection based on the pegaruh climate, availability of raw materials, and conformity with the needs of caladium. As a result, 21 planters in Thailand, Indonesia and Sri Lanka using different media. Each has its own media for growing herbs aglaonema's relatives.
Although different in the three countries, but caladium remain fertile body, excellence, and look stunning. Secret of his success lies in the composition of raw materials and selected media. If grouped, selected media, consisting of single and mixed mediai.
