What kind of soil is suitable for growing succulents?

Soil for succulent plants

Most succulents like to live in acidic soil, but there are exceptions. For example, cacti prefer to grow in alkaline soil. During the planting process, it is suitable to use sandy soil with good hydrophobicity, and during the transplanting process, newly turned garden soil can be used.

Succulents can be grown in ordinary soil. Succulents generally do not have high requirements for soil nutrients. They can grow well as long as sufficient water is provided. Using nutrient soil can allow them to grow better because the nutrients will be more sufficient.

How to prepare soil for succulent plants

1. Nutrient soil

When preparing the nutrient soil needed for succulents, you need to examine the type of succulents. If it is a cactus, you need to add additional wood ash. If it is an ordinary succulent, you can add some humus to the garden soil.

2. Succulent Planting

Succulents require more water in the early stages of planting in the soil, so be careful to avoid excessive fertilization at this time.
