what is a good part to part for soil, perlite, and orchid bark? i’m wanting to use that mixture for all of my plants, but mostly my tropical plants that require the soil to be moist, but not wet for a long time. very worried about getting root rot for some of my expensive plants so i’m wanting to have a soil that is perfect for them. any other recommendations are welcomed as well. :)

Personally I would go with equal parts of each :)
