Orchids Epiphytes

Can I use half soil and half orchid mix to repot my Christmas cactus?
I know they’re epiphytes like orchids, and I have a ton of fresh orchid mix. Can I use this mixed with soil to keep it better drained?
All of my Christmas Cactus are grown in soil.. I have always known that they are epiphytes but never gave it any thought..
If yours is in soil now you could experiment with out damage to you original plant by trying cuttings in orchid mix.. I may give that a try too..
I have take Bromeliads out of soil into orchid mix with bad results.. It didn’t kill my plants but they didn’t do as well as in just soil alone, maybe mixing with the soil will work..
Good luck
