I just received my 2 Dwarf Cevendish and 1 Gran Nain plants today. I have potted them in 9 inch pots. I used Pro Mix Organic Soil and mixed in a little compost Mulch on the Top Layer, and small layer of gravel near the drain holes. The following are the components of the soil. Do you guys think this is good for them? It seems really light, which I guess would allow the roots to grow easier.

Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss
(65-75% by volume)
Sea-based Compost (from composted shrimp shells & seaweed)
Limestone (for pH adjustment)
Perlite
Mycorise® - endomycorrhizae inoculant

Do you think this is a good soil for indoor/outdoor Banana's?
