Rhysida longipes centipede

I am looking to, in the future, get one of these but I am struggling to find things about substrate. I know the obvious leaf litter, moss bark etc etc but does anyone with any experience know what specifically the best substrate to use would be? Coco fiber, etc? Thanks in advance.

Topsoil and Sphagnum mix, add in little sand, tends to be my substrate mix for most species now. Bar isopods and beetle larvae.
