Hi Beverly, I don't think the cactus, palms, and succulents have the same nutrient requirements that plumerias have, but they all need good drainage. If you did use that mix, you would want to compensate by fertilizing a little more often. Here is a recent discussion of potting soil: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/692749/

I use Sunshine Mix #4, which has excellent drainage, so I don't have to do anything to it. I know some people use SuperSoil and mix in perlite for drainage. Some people make their own mixes with sand, pumice, bark, perlite, etc., just to be sure to have good drainage.

Dwarf Singapore Pink is a dynamite bloomer and brancher so it will probably thrive in just about any medium. Mine is still blooming on last year's inflo's and starting new ones now.
