If you plant your own succulent plants, you can make a special soil, which can easily feed the succulent plants.

After years of repeated experiments, flower friends have concluded that the perfect succulent soil is very suitable for planting succulent plants. It is very good to cultivate potted succulent plants, which can quickly restore the growth of succulent plants. Let's take a look.

I seldom buy special soil for succulent plants directly now, because I find it difficult to restore the growth of succulent plants with these special soils.

Many of the special soil for succulent plants bought on the market are made of mixed materials, which are nothing more than coconut bran, peat soil, perlite and some nutrient compost, sometimes the proportion is not very good. Many of these special soils are suffering from too much coconut bran, making it difficult for plants to restore growth in it.

It is cheaper to make your own products than to buy them, and the method of making them is very easy.

Choosing a suitable pot soil for succulent plants to restore growth is very critical, there are many friends failed to maintain succulent plants, most of the reasons are due to excessive watering, too much water is the main cause of the death of succulent plants, then it is very important to prepare some well-drained, loose and breathable soil, it is best to choose some well-drained sandy soil.

I found that the special soil mixture I bought was not rough enough, the permeability and drainage were not good enough, which was not in line with my preference, so I came up with a very simple and cheap soil mixture.

Here I use the three most common soils, one is the most common nutrient soil, the other is to prepare some coarse sand, that is, river sand with larger particles, and some perlite.

Ordinary potted soil can be replaced with rotten leaf soil, of course, it should be dried to remove fungal diseases, that is, the mixture of these three common soils can become a very useful special soil for succulent plants.

When cultivating succulent plants, we must choose some lighter soil, do not use garden soil that is too sticky, and do not use some nutritious soil containing vermiculite, because its main effect is to keep moisture. Any granular soil with moisture retention effect is not suitable for cultivation of succulent plants. Succulent plants are potted soil with good drainage, not soil that maintains moisture.

Coarse sand is the sand with relatively large particles selected from the river sand. You can pick it out directly with a sieve, of course, you can also get it directly from the construction site, not sea sand.

Another key material is perlite, which can also be replaced with pumice. It is a very light organic soil improver. The white debris seen in many commercially used nutrient soils is actually perlite. Perlite retains only a small amount of water, which can prevent the soil from being compacted. It helps to help better drainage, and the permeability is very good, which is exactly what we want for succulent pot soil.

Before mixing the soil for succulent plants, you need to prepare some measuring cups with the right proportion of materials. of course, you can directly use plastic buckets, and the ratio of potted soil, coarse sand and perlite is 3:2:1. Perlite can be replaced with pumice.

These mixed potted soils can also be used to grow cactus plants, so the soil is less fertile, but the air permeability and drainage are very good.

Before using, be sure to mix the three materials evenly. You can mix them directly in a larger bucket.

In addition to growing succulent plants, these mixed soils can also be used for cutting branches of propagating plants, which are great for leaf cutting and cutting propagation of succulent plants, and the rest are used in mixed soil and can be preserved. Remember to keep it in a cool, dry place.
