Hi, so I'm going to be doing a massive repot to change the soil since it isn't easy draining but I'm unsure what soil to make up. Is easy draining compost, stones and perlite fine for pothos, polkadot and added stones and perlite for succulents? 🌱🪴

Not sure about polka dots since they don’t seem to like my space but I like to mix compost, perlite and small orchid bark into a pretty chunky mix and I haven’t had any root issues!
