    This video is awesome. But I'd love to see how you'd apply this soil in indoor setting. I assume you'd suggest the first recipe, since indoor succs/cacti don't have the light, heat and wind that out door plants have that help keep roots dry and healthy. Mentioning the last soil recipe is good for house plants is great and gives me an idea how to apply that recipe. Thanks for your clear videos and showing examples of why or why not to use something. I get frustrated reading articles that just say "use a well draining soil" cause that... really doesn't mean much to a nuub like me without clear examples.

    I only got rice Hulls not carbonized ones.
    I am not suppose to burn them as I live in apartment.
    Can I still use them?
    Also can't find the video on fertilizing them in your channel. Can you please share the link.

    • @succulentsforbeginners
      @succulentsforbeginners  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes it will also work. But you'll have to sterilize them or use insecticide because raw rice hulls are prone to insects. I use 14 14 14 complete fertilizer

      @pluemonade_lovechild9216 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes. Perlite is okay.

    • @feix5800
      @feix5800 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pumice is rock-like and its surfaces are rough which is good for roots or plant to anchor on. Sand or small rocks, gravel etc. is good replacement for pumice. Perlite and vermiculite on the other hand are soft, flaky and light (like oatmeal), they don't function as anchor to plants. Sand and compost are the necessities, pumice and perlite/vermiculite are the upgrades.

    • @succulentsforbeginners
      @succulentsforbeginners  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's not activated. It's a carbonated rice hulls which is widely used in our area. You can use what is widely used in your area :)

    A better video would actually be what these ingredients actually are. The terminologies are so subjective. I don't find this too helpful. It would be like saying the winning lottery numbers are in the field of numbers you are picking from.
