    Chose one. I just plant all my plants in equal parts of soil, perlite, orchid bark, and I also add a handful of moss and worm castings. Very airy and less chances of root rot

      I've used a mix of soil, perlite and small stones but I was unsure about using orchid bark or moss as I'm worried it retains to much moisture

      Add less soil and more of the other stuff and it’ll be even chinkier. U would think the moss would keep it wet but it actually doesn’t. It gives the roots more room to breathe.

    I would also recommend using clear nursery pots bc they help a lot when watering or seeing that everything is ok w roots
