They don’t like sitting in water so anything that drains well, like a cactus mix….

I use half soil and half perlite.

I haven’t heard of Perlite but I’ll definitely have to look into it! Thank you for letting me know

Cactus mix will suffice, but I like to add some chunky stuff like small orchid bark, charcoal, and pumice

Thank you! I’ll give this a go
