Maybe btw charcoal and perlite/sm, I'll add transition layer of charcoal/perlite/sm. Do you see any problem with this setup? If it's working, I'll adjust layer thickness for diff nep type, e.g. if swamp neps then thicker perlite+sm layer, HL then thicker charcoal layer.
I've tried this sort of potting layer, just that I replaced charcoal with Styrofoam pieces, so far, they grow quite slowly as compared to common mix
