The 60 dollar orchid mix I tossed after one repot

Bought a fancy bark blend from a shop online, the stuff had chunks that were way too big for my phals. Roots dried out in 3 days and I lost two plants I'd had for 4 years. Switched to plain sphagnum moss from the hardware store and everything bounced back. Anyone else get burned by overpriced premium mixes, or am I just unlucky?

Phals aren't really bark plants anyway, they do way better in moss.
