I have a villosa that needs to be repotted. For some reason I always get these d. adelae from the LFS. It bugs me. Everyone says that d. capensis is bad but I thing these are the true weeds. So anyways everything other thing I read is something different. One says to use just LFS, others say not to. I was thinking of using Chillie LFS, perlite, and maybe repti bark. Yes or no? I was thinking that maybe a mix like that will be open, but stay moist. Plus I really do not need to water all that much since a added some mylar. It does not dry out too much in there and is way brighter.

Meant to reply to this earlier....
Personally, I wouldn't use LFS at all. Use chunky stuff (look in vraev's rajah thread for all my material suggestions), and if you need it to retain moisture, I'd use a dab of peat. However, I would think this species would at least be similar to rajah in its soil requirements...
