I have been told not to use any soil with lots of bark in it,the bark holds water and can cause root rot.I have my desert rose plants,sans,leaf cactus in a orchid mix that's nothing but big bark,charcoal,some type of rock (not able to get up & look at name on bag & can't remember)

I want to show what i mix together & the end result to see what opinions i get on it!!




In the last photo i added perlite to the mix, but i simply hate that stuff! Every time you water it floats to the top which is ugly after a few waterings is there any left in the soil so what's the purpose of adding it if i'm going to end up scooping it out?

opinions and advice wanted
