It suits Calathea and Maranta too, provided the pot drains properly, since unlike the rot-prone aroids these are soil-dwellers by nature, not tree-dwellers on sabbatical in a pot. Begonias and African Violets, which want a light, gently-fed, moisture-retentive soil rather than an aggressive fast-drain mix, do well in it.
