I normally care for carnivorous plants, but my girlfriend is huge with succulents, so I'm binge watching your videos to learn how to care for em better for whenever she isn't home and something happens lol Thank you for all the informative videos! They're a huge help!
Have you had any luck with Sun roses? If I let them dry out between waterings, then I get brown dry leaves. If I water them more then I get soft limp leaves. What do I do?
Love the way you explained it. I really appreciate the way you are replying to every query to help them. 👏❤ Bothering you little more, if you can just write the exact ratio of the soil mix to prepare at home either here or in the description.?
Hi, thank you for your comment. Here's our recommendation for basic succulent soil mix that promotes airflow, root growth, and drainage: 3:2:1 POTTING SOIL + BARK FINES + PERLITE/PUMICE Hope it could be helpful for you
Hi there, our recipe is soil, bark fines and perlite in 3:2:1 ratio. Your recipe should be fine, it is recommended to test your the drainage of your mixture before using! Hope this helps!
For beginners please post a detailed video elaboratingeach parameter. A perfect soil mix is what any succulent asks for. What fertilizer to be given and how much. It will be very helpful
Great suggestion! The info about soil mix and fertilizer are actually disclosed in this video. As per the soil mix, any well-drained soilmix will do, you can buy it at the store or make one yourself. As per the fertilizer, once a year during their growing season is enough.
@@SucculentsBox please make a fresh video... It should be all in all. no one need to search for another video for further information. It's my request only..
Great info!!!! Soil Question: When soil is correct, how long should it stay damp to touch after watering? A couple days, a week? I have made up my own soil and it drains fast but stays damp to touch for longer than I believe it should. All my plants or indoors.
Hi. It’s always better to be underwater than overwater. Therefore, we recommend that you water once every 2 weeks at first, then observe your succulents’ reactions and adjust the watering schedule accordingly. But it should be watered when the soil completely dry at the touch
Hi, plants absorb calcium from the soil in order to grow healthy and strong. And the thing is, eggshells contain more than 90% calcium carbonate, as well as other nutrients that your plants' soil requires, but not all of them. You can try this if you want to treat your plants.
Make sure you use balanced fertilizer. An inappropriate fertilizer can cause nutrient burn. To feed your succulents, you should use organic fertilizers such as bone or a manure or compost tea.
I've found that succulents like to be drowned, then left to dry for a while, mine were in terracotta pots and i would just set them in a sink of water instill the water soaked all the way through. I've had mine live for 4 ish years, ans have propagated them too
@@SucculentsBox thanks, I’m gonna try that. What I don’t understand is why all these premixed succulent soils aren’t actually suitable for succulents out of the bag? Or do conditions vary so much that it’s impossible?
maybe because people want their succulents to look symmetrical in its shape or want it to fit nicely in its growing container. Aesthetics is probably the number one answer.

Can we make a soil mix like this:
1 Part Vermiculite
1 part pumice
2 part sand
½ part compost
I will suggest you that subtract one part of sand and add one part of cocopeat
Wow what a helpful video. Well done 👍
Glad it was helpful!
I love your tips
Thank you! So glad to hear 🥰

hi it's me again do you know what happens when you cut off spikes on cactus that are to long do they rott or nothing happens???
Once the spines are removed, new spines will emerge only from the living spine primordia of new areoles that form along the stem as the cactus grows 🌵
Your voice is adorable :)
Thanks! You made our day!
Great info!!!!

would lava rocks crushed down work as a replacement for pumice?
Hi there, they both are excellent as a component of succulent potting soil. Therefore, you can use lava rocks to replace pumice in your mix
since egg shell is insoluble, how does it benefit the plants? especially since you're removing them after a few days?
Hi, plants absorb calcium from the soil in order to grow healthy and strong. And the thing is, eggshells contain more than 90% calcium carbonate, as well as other nutrients that your plants' soil requires, but not all of them. You can try this if you want to treat your plants.
@@SucculentsBox but its insoluble. it doesn't dissolve. in other words, you don't add Ca++ to the soil solution using egg shells.
@@freedive2370good to know. I’ve read some crazy things to do & always come to comments to see what the smart ppl say about it 😅
what npk fertilizer can i use for succulents?
Make sure you use balanced fertilizer. An inappropriate fertilizer can cause nutrient burn. To feed your succulents, you should use organic fertilizers such as bone or a manure or compost tea.
Your videos are very helpful.....thanks a lot 🫶🏻
Thanks. Glad you like it 🥰
My sculents always die my soil is porus. Please do guide
I've found that succulents like to be drowned, then left to dry for a while, mine were in terracotta pots and i would just set them in a sink of water instill the water soaked all the way through. I've had mine live for 4 ish years, ans have propagated them too
The pre-mixed cactus and succulent soil I bought killed my succulent because the soil retained too much water. So frustrating
You could add more pumice/perlite into the mix to increase the drainage
@@SucculentsBox thanks, I’m gonna try that. What I don’t understand is why all these premixed succulent soils aren’t actually suitable for succulents out of the bag? Or do conditions vary so much that it’s impossible?
👌👌👌👌👌👌thank U...
Welcome 💟
Thankyou
You’re welcome 😊
Why pamper succulents when it naturally grows in wild desert without any pamering.
Impressive out-of-the-box thinking !! You must be a nature lover 🥰
