Do the Twinkles all like the same culture?

My Red Fantasy was purchased, in bloom, in November. She's still blooming! Now with 3 new growths coming in.

I have her planted in a plastic pot that had parsley in it, previously. She's in a crappy bark, charcoal, whatever else, mix from Lowe's. I also mixed in a little sphag and draped the top with sphag. There is some styrofoam in the bottom. She sits inside a ceramic container that has a layer of pebbles and water in the bottom. Her pot sits on top of the pebbles. I water whenever the pot feels light. She sits in front of a SW window.

Dunno how I'm doing it, but, this one is my happiest plant.
