You may also do the weight test..
I use a similar mix for a few of my plants.
The bonsai/cactus mix is really not the best choice for yearling plants.
A light miracle grow type soillesss mix could work better.
I have non banana plants (meyer lemon) growing in the mix.
BUT....if it is currently working ......your good to go.
I will always say do what is in your budget and what works for you.
Loose mix's keep from overwatering
