Default Ludisia discolor potting mix?

I have two Ludisia discolor that are growing out of their pots. Previously I have potted them in a mixture of standard orchid mix (bark,etc.) with peat moss, vermiculite, and some charcoal. They have done well but is there a better mix?

Mine is in pure sphagnum in my Orchidarium.

When I bought mine, it was in pure shag. I repotted it into a third potting soil, a third pearlite, and a third peat moss. I've also tried sphag and pearlite 1:1. All three seem to work well.

I have one in potting soil. Its doing very well. But the ones that are doing the best are in peat, bark mix.

I also like the peatmoss, bark and perlite combo. I repotted a couple of months ago in this mixture ... it's going mental - That's the way I like it
