What soil to use for growing succulents

1. What soil to use

The choice of loam is the basic condition for growing succulents. You must consider its growth characteristics and choose the right loam accordingly. The first condition is the ability to breathe freely and drain water. Loam that is too sticky and has poor permeability is not suitable for growth. The texture needs to be soft and not too hard, otherwise water cannot penetrate and water accumulation will easily occur. The best thing is to mix several media, so as to meet its various needs and facilitate its healthy growth in the later stage.
