Best potting mix for Brassidium

My Brassidium just dropped its last bloom and badly needs to be repotted. I was planning on using a fine bark mix because I know they like to stay moist and maybe doing a layer of spag on top? Does anybody have any other suggestions?

My suggestion is to carefully monitor the rate at which the mix dries out whenever you switch to a new mix. When changing over to a new mix it is often the case that you will have to adjust your watering (water more or less frequently) to ensure your plant is getting the conditions it wants.
