    Looks like a good selection! Nutrition āœ”ļø Drainage āœ”ļø I donā€™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 donā€™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! ā˜ŗļøšŸŖ“

    I mix Espomaā€™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. Iā€™ve found mine enjoy a good chunky mix with some peat, but not all peat. Hope this helps!

      Probably wonā€™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 ā€œContains; Canadian sphagnum peat moss, water-absorbent polymer, perlite, limestone, slow release fertilizer, Mycorrhizae Premier Tech.ā€ So definitely donā€™t need to add the extra perlite. If it seems like itā€™s more ā€œmoss-likeā€ 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.

      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 donā€™t even need much of the cactus mix. If youā€™re worried about overwatering the peperomia, you can add some cactus mix to it either way.
