But I am glad I found thus forum and you guys give very helpful feedback! Thank you so much
Sometimes it's hard to learn some things on your own, I don't have friends who are into plants, so I can't really discuss these things with anyone

In your climate, you might consider a very free-draining inorganic medium, such as volcanic rock, or LECA. Most of the conventional media such as bark, sphagnum, and coconut chips tend to stay too wet, and rot fast. There are many contributors to the Board who live in tropical areas who will, I am certain, jump in with suggestions.
