Hi guys, I'm new to Haworthia. I'm at SEA region and trying to mix potting soil. After doing some research, I went for this ratio:
2 Pumice : 1 Perlite : 1 Red lavarock : 1 Coal cinder : 1 Akadama : 1 Pine bark : 1 Peatmoss
But then I feel like this mix has "too much rock" 😂 I'm not sure if this gonna work? My plants will be in plastic pots.

That will be fine. If the pots dry out too quickly add some more peat or water them more. I like to add some compost to my mix so I don’t have to worry about fertilizer. The most important thing is to pay attention to your plants and learn how they work.
This should be okay, but if you’re like me and clumsy, you might find it hard to balance some plants upright in such gritty soil. If so, add more peat moss. I have mine in 40-50% succulent soil.
