I am not sure what 110f. Could you please use international standards? This is an international forum afer all 
Finer grains hold more water, as does organic material. I would say.. It depends a lot on how often yoiu can water your plants. It is very hard to give someone information on the soil mixture to use, without knowing the local conditions. But yeah, increasing the organics and or using finer grains help.

In that case I think it is OK to point you to Google for more information about your plant and soil?
