Pot soil/Soil Mix & Top Dressing
Succulents love porous soil, which allows for sufficient water drainage and airflow. Adding sand and perlite/pumice to your soil will help you achieve that. You can easily make a batch of potting soil for your succulents at home with only three contents, that is:
- Regular potting soil
- Coarse sand
- Perlite or Pumice
Overwatering is the biggest concern for your succulents. A soil mix of the above ingredients will help you develop the perfect medium for growing your succulents.

Tips and Tricks for Succulent Farming
- Remove any excess offsets or plantlets that have started growing around your plants. They will compete with your primary plants for water and nutrients.
- Ensure your pots and flowerbeds have a proper drainage system to ensure no stagnating water can cause root rot or other plant problems.
- Many people often suggest root separation. It requires you to gently uproot your plant and separate the roots’ tentacles before soiling the plant back in. Root separation will ensure the roots of your plants have enough surface area to gather nutrients.
- Learn to take maximum advantage of the available terrain by utilizing elevation points, crevices, and slopes to manage water flow, sunlight, and nutrients.
Conclusion
Succulents can help you change any location’s vibe, energy, and look – indoors or outdoors. It lets you achieve a pretty interesting look through organic – mostly DIY – means.
