Indoor Cactus and Succulent Maintenance

FAQ About Indoor Cactus and Succulent Maintenance

What type of soil is best for indoor cacti and succulents?

Cacti and succulents thrive in well-draining soil. A commercial cactus/succulent potting mix is recommended as it usually contains the right balance of inorganic matter such as sand or pumice, which helps prevent water retention. If you're mixing your own, consider combining regular potting soil with coarse sand or perlite in a ratio that allows water to pass through rapidly.
