Hello and welcome. She looks gorgeous! I hadn't heard of Vitakraft Country Home (that's what it says on the packet rather than House) before. It sounds good, but I'd watch for any spiky bits like dried leaf stalks in there, and check through it. I think something like that is good to mix with a standard substrate, but maybe not just by itself.

I had something similar from Hugro but I stopped using it as Charlie poked his eye on a leaf stalk and I felt terrible! But providing you go through it and pick out any spiky bits it could be good mixed in with standard substrate.
