I still love coir but have tweeked the original mix by adding tiny cork pieces for more drainage (also helps the coir not to compact) and shredded coco husks (about 1/3 of the mix) instead of so much coir. For some of my species or primary hybrids I add some chopped sphagnum as well. Keep in mind I have a very dry climate and have a difficult time with media drying out too quickly, especially in summer.
