Looks like a good selection! Nutrition ✔️ Drainage ✔️

I don’t have vermiculite or coir in my collection since I have mostly aroids and succulent-like plants, but they sound like a good idea for the calathea, prayer plants, and pilea to hold moisture. I would just be careful to make sure they don’t stay soggy for too long. I find that air circulation helps with that. I think peperomia might prefer more of the succulent mix than the coir, but peperomia come in such variety, that might depend on what kind you have

Happy potting! ☺️🪴

I went back and returned this soil purchased Pro-mix instead

I mix Espoma’s Organic Cactus and Succulent and All-Purpose Soil mixes together for my peperomias, allowing enough drainage and enough moisture. Definitely agree with @Mullein that even though peperomia are often potted in peat moss, too much can affect drainage. I’ve found mine enjoy a good chunky mix with some peat, but not all peat. Hope this helps!

This is my mixture I’m going to I’ll stick with this for now and hope for the best

Probably won’t need the extra perlite in the case of the peperomia if the cactus mix already comes with it. Make sure the mixture is no more than 1/2 and 1/2 of the cactus and peat mixes for the peperomias. Aside from that, looks good! Good luck!

Just looked it up for ya. Description online for it says “Contains; Canadian sphagnum peat moss, water-absorbent polymer, perlite, limestone, slow release fertilizer, Mycorrhizae Premier Tech.” So definitely don’t need to add the extra perlite. If it seems like it’s more “moss-like” than regular soil, add some of the cactus mix in. If it looks like some moss added into regular soil, then you might not need the cactus mix.

This is the potting mix contents

Looks pretty good to me. If it feels like a lot of moss, you can add some of the cactus mix to it. If it feels like regular potting mix with a bit of moss, then you probably don’t even need much of the cactus mix. If you’re worried about overwatering the peperomia, you can add some cactus mix to it either way.
