Default Planted crested gecko vivarium Try#1

So today I took the step and mixed some substrate mix based on some information here and other places. I currenting have:
Medium Orchid bark (basic store type),
Tree fern bark (Exo-terra),
Coco fiber (Eco earth),
Crushed charcoal (orchid potting style),
Sphagnum moss (I hand crushed),
and a little bit of soil from the outdoors, granted it is winter and I live in the rockies so I'm not sure how "active" it is right now.
I also have about an inch and a half of the hydroballs and screen below.
I am hoping to soon get some springtails going and some isopods going too.

Currently I have loads of mounted airplants on mayalsian driftwood, one planted orchid in the back, one hoya planted in the corner and some creeping fig planted up front.
I am hoping this all works. Any advice or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks
