Hi Joyce,
Unfortunately Himalayan Androsaces wouldn't deign to grow here in SE Pennsylvania. The closest I've come to a Cambark alternative is the BioComp BC5 compost I use extensively - it contains composted peanut hulls and composted bark. I haven't looked but you may also be able to buy 'pure' composted bark. The BC5 is wonderful though, cut 50;50 with perlite. Best, J.
