Preparing Succulent Soil at Home 🌵

  • In India getting ready made succulent soil is very difficult. So, here I have an easy succlent potting mix recipe with sand, perlite, cocopeat and compost. It is not necessary that you have all these constituents, you can always tweak it according to your needs. Just remember that for a good succulent or cactus soil it is essential that it should be good in drainage.

    Worth mentioning that Perlite is dangerous for our lungs. Best to wet it before using so small particles aren't breathed in. Enjoyed your presentation. Pleasant, informative, & straight to the point. I'll try this mix tomorrow.

      Cocopeat should not be added in succulent potting mix madam as by d time it creates fungus & bacterial infections in d soil as it's an organic matter & over time break down resulting decrease in drainage of soil. Also it holds too much water for succulents which results root rott. Pls don't misguide to the people. It can be used for propagation purpose only. Instead anyone can use leaf compost, garden soil with neem khali or fungicide powder in PROPER RATIO.

      If you mean the coco peat moss. You're going to start seeing it more and more because we use so much more coconut in food now but we're also running out of sphagnum peat moss. We're ruining where it grows or did grow and became what it is. We have destroyed most of the environment that it came from so we're leaving the areas that it's left alone so that the world isn't completely scorched but we have tons and tons of this coconut fiber. And it actually works very well it's sold in the US 4 animal substrate and for gardening substrate. I think you're just in an isolated area right now so you'll start seeing it soon enough it was really expensive at the beginning here but it's getting a little bit better but then again Pete Moss is a fortune now also

    I was wondering why nurseries add minute thermocole balls in seed sowing mixture. This is a mystery. You have given an excellent advice about not using thermocole and replacing it with perlite. Your communication skill is very good. If perlite is unavailable then possibly river sand can be used in it's place. --- Reggie Radcliff.

    • @arfakhan5869

    Hi there, I usually buy standard potting mix in bulk from the local soil supplier however my it holds too much moisture which isn't good for my succulents. I was considering using pavers sand(quite coarse) which I can also get in bulk plus perlite plus the standard potting mix I already get at a 1:1:1 ratio. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this please?
