How to make your own succulent granular soil economically and affordably (the simplest way to prepare soil for succulents)

The small particles in honeycomb coal are excellent for growing flowers. They are better than the granular soil you buy, and they do not attract insects. Honeycomb coal particles can kill insects. You don't have to worry about the soil for growing succulents. The effect of mixing the small particles of honeycomb coal with the soil is absolutely very good.

How to make your own succulent granular soil

Step 1: Breaking

Since honeycomb coal is in block form and very large, first use a claw hammer to break the coal into pieces. The smaller the better. After breaking them into pieces, step on them a few times until the block-like coal becomes small particles.

Step 2: Sieve

Put the crushed honeycomb coal into the sieve. If you have more than 20 pots of succulents at home, it is recommended to have a small sieve as a spare. It will definitely come in handy when sifting the soil. You can rinse it with water while drying it in the sun.

Allow the powder in the sieve to settle in the basin of water. The powder will not be used, so pour it directly into the surrounding flower beds after passing through the sieve.

After the powder is passed, pick out the "large particles" on the surface. The relatively large particles can be used as pot pads to increase the air permeability of the soil.

For some old succulent plants, you can use large-grain honeycomb coal to pad the pot and use it as expanded clay, which is very practical.

Step 3: Sun drying the soil

Place the small particles at the bottom of the sieve on the balcony to dry. The moisture in the small particles must be dried before they can be used. The remaining small particles are the essence of honeycomb coal, which can be mixed with soil to increase the air permeability of the soil.

In addition to being mixed with soil, the small particles can also be used as "paving stones" for succulents, spread flat on the surface of the flowerpot to increase beauty and prevent pests.

The paving stones that people usually use are medical stones, which are very expensive. The small particles in honeycomb coal can completely replace medical stones, and the effect of paving at no cost is more beautiful than that of medical stones.
