I couldn't find the specific reference again, but found this - with interesting comment about the use of a compot too.

Thank you so much for your kind words and the link!!
For me sphagnum moss is what works, I'm a disaster with any kind of bark mix!!! Lol! The plants that I kill have always been in bark, I know that's what most use, but it's just not for me.
I have brought another bunch of seedlings to juvenile size using moss, but as soon as the root growth was substantial the plants were removed from it. It is a careful balance, but I grow them inside while they're young, so it doesn't rot them out and I let them have very dry periods as seedlings.
