is compost peat humus an ok substitute for replanting areca palm and mother in law tongue into another pot ?

we didn't have potting soil, and i noticed this has bits and pieces of something that resemble small bark. i hope the roots are ok with that. i just want to make sure these plants don't die with this soil.

thank you

It should be okay but keep it out of the direct sun and water from the top down.
