SOIL AND DRAINAGE

All of these succulents require well-draining soil to avoid water retention around the roots.,everyone has their own preferences when it comes to soil selection. Here are a few mixtures I have used and continue to use:

1. Compost & Perlite (1:1)

A simple yet effective blend that provides good aeration and drainage.

2. Volcanic Rock & Standard Soil

Volcanic rock is rich in minerals and offers excellent breathability and drainage. A 1:1 ratio works well for mature plants, while a 1:3 mix (more soil) is better suited for seedlings. I personally recommend using volcanic stones in the 2mm–4mm range.

3. Pre-Mixed Cactus Soil

A convenient option, as these blends are specifically formulated for optimal air permeability and drainage.

Each of these options has its own advantages, depending on your specific needs.
