Can ordinary soil grow succulents?

Succulents can be grown in ordinary soil because ordinary soil is generally neutral. This type of soil will not affect the pH value of the succulent soil, so the impact on succulents is relatively small.

When planting succulents in ordinary soil, be sure to mix it with some nutrient soil, because the nutrients in ordinary soil are not enough for succulents to grow, so adding some nutrient soil is more conducive to promoting the growth of succulents.

The advantages and disadvantages of ordinary soil-grown succulents

Advantages: Ordinary soil has a certain drainage capacity, and can generally be used to grow succulents. When watering is too much, excess water can be quickly drained out.

Disadvantages: Ordinary soil does not have a very good ability to retain fertilizer, so when using it to grow succulents, try to apply some fertilizer to the succulents regularly.

How to grow succulents in ordinary soil

1. Watering principles: Generally, when planting succulents with ordinary soil, you need to pay attention to the number of watering. Although ordinary soil can drain, its drainage capacity is not very strong, so you need to control the number of watering to avoid water accumulation at the roots.

2. Soil preparation: Ordinary soil is not suitable for growing succulents alone. It can be mixed with vermiculite, which is more conducive to the growth of succulents.
