Preparing Succulent Soil at Home 🌵
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- In India getting ready made succulent soil is very difficult. So, here I have an easy succlent potting mix recipe with sand, perlite, cocopeat and compost. It is not necessary that you have all these constituents, you can always tweak it according to your needs. Just remember that for a good succulent or cactus soil it is essential that it should be good in drainage.

Worth mentioning that Perlite is dangerous for our lungs. Best to wet it before using so small particles aren't breathed in. Enjoyed your presentation. Pleasant, informative, & straight to the point. I'll try this mix tomorrow.
Very imp information👍🏻
You can wear a medical mask too
Wet the perlite in bag before u add to the mix...no dust 👍
Cocopeat should not be added in succulent potting mix madam as by d time it creates fungus & bacterial infections in d soil as it's an organic matter & over time break down resulting decrease in drainage of soil. Also it holds too much water for succulents which results root rott. Pls don't misguide to the people. It can be used for propagation purpose only. Instead anyone can use leaf compost, garden soil with neem khali or fungicide powder in PROPER RATIO.
Thanks for the info
Hi, thanks for video some queries on the below;
1. Being in India shld we not use garden soil at all in least qty.
2. Shld we press the soil like we do for other plants as I saw u just pouring & planting the succulents without giving any pressure.
3. Shld we water immediately after completing potting.
Lastly when to water next.
You can use soil just filtered the fine Dust otherwise overtime the soil will get compact we want the succulent soil to be lose porous…you can add sand or perlite or pumice to further make the soil more porous
Was so inspired by your video I stopped the video at 10:45 am and finished repotting and cleaning up both my balcony pots. I have an assortment of succulents, ornamentals and herbs for cooking. They were languishing for a year and today you inspired me to get working. Thank you.
I recently started watch ing ur videos.... It really has started inspiring me.... I never knew abcd of plsnts but nw m getting interest to plant trees.... Every time m free I open ur video s n sit
It's very interesting to see how people have different soil mix in different countries!
Thank you for sharing anyway! 😍😍😍😍
If you mean the coco peat moss. You're going to start seeing it more and more because we use so much more coconut in food now but we're also running out of sphagnum peat moss. We're ruining where it grows or did grow and became what it is. We have destroyed most of the environment that it came from so we're leaving the areas that it's left alone so that the world isn't completely scorched but we have tons and tons of this coconut fiber. And it actually works very well it's sold in the US 4 animal substrate and for gardening substrate. I think you're just in an isolated area right now so you'll start seeing it soon enough it was really expensive at the beginning here but it's getting a little bit better but then again Pete Moss is a fortune now also

I've never tried this mix before, I'll have to test it out here in Florida. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hello it's a pleasure to watch your videos which are informative. U r charming too . God bless you.
I was wondering why nurseries add minute thermocole balls in seed sowing mixture. This is a mystery. You have given an excellent advice about not using thermocole and replacing it with perlite. Your communication skill is very good. If perlite is unavailable then possibly river sand can be used in it's place. --- Reggie Radcliff.
It's probably to give an illusion of perlite, as it looks similar and trick the buyer
Sorry to say rear i abuser mostly youngster are not showing intereste in gardening .god bless you. Keep it up.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for u.
A lady will be a lady always 😀 ... Instructing to not to mix plastic in potting mix cuz it will contaminate the soil ... But using plastic pots for potting the plants ... Hatsoff 👌
Hi! Thank you for this video, you're very skilled for explaining things. You speak in a simple but precise and information-rich way that I really like.
Can i use of the organic compost that available on fertilizer store which are usually used for farming?
Very true about thermocol!
The Perlite information is really very helpful. I didn't know about it. Thank you @jenny
Your videos are very intricate and detailed. Thanks for sharing. I just wonder, how many plants you have around your house ?every video of your it seems different plants.
Just was curious to know apart from gardening how difficult is it to grow organic food at homes? I will really appreciate a series of such videos.
Very nice video. U have explained in a simple way...i m trying to grow succulent I hope this video will help me a lot. Thanks dear
You should add activated pumice stones instead of perlite for better long lasting result.(perlite breakdown faster with time)
Can I use construction sand for indoor plants
I"m not certain if pumice can be activated. You probably mean activated charcoal.
You are superb in explaining.... Very nice... 😊
Thank you for inspiring me thru ur videos..
Your love for plants n soil is inspiring . Best wishes

How do you keep your plants so green? Mine turns a bit yellow.
Overwatering, dont over water your succulent.
Hi,
Saw your video and ordered succulents and used the same potting soil as you did ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I found that fine sand holds water too long and saw a huge improvement when I started using quarter inch crushed granite... Give it a try... 🙂
The way u speak is quite knowledgeable. It seems it must be ur master subject in plants. Can u please tell us about ur education background.. But good way of explaining the subject
Little soil helps in increasing microbial activities....also helps nonavailabe nutrients to be available to succulents
You have done a great narrative. I’m just impressed thank you.
Hi there, I usually buy standard potting mix in bulk from the local soil supplier however my it holds too much moisture which isn't good for my succulents. I was considering using pavers sand(quite coarse) which I can also get in bulk plus perlite plus the standard potting mix I already get at a 1:1:1 ratio. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this please?
Thank you soooo much...i have no idea about gardening... learning every step from your videos...thank you
Is perlite have the same function as activated charcoal?
After potting of succulents as shown, when to water them, immediately or after 4-5 days
Great guide on soil mix. Is it ok to use pumice instead of sand? I don’t know where to get the sand. Thank you.

Hi, can I prepare cactus soil mix and store it and use it when need or should make fresh
Pl. Demonstrate watering after planting pups. N frequency too later
Do you add leaf mold in this ?
Can I use perlite in place of sand
Balu soil (desert sand ) +cocopeat + vermicompost
In ratio of 5:3:2
Also a good potting mix for succulent.
Wat about vermicompost n sand mixture???
bengia nanam If you skip cocopeat in this mixture ,it will not hold moisture for long time ...and you will have to water the succulent frequently ...
@@caramangoel oh..ok thanks
In the potting mix of this video....why we dont add any soil?
@@devansh4155 Most come from dry areas and desert, so sand, little cocopeat and organic compost is sufficient to grow them

Can we use brick pieces instead of perlite
That is very interesting idea. but scientifically speaking brick pieces is also ultimately soil although baked soil, i am not sure if it can aid in maintaining air pockets in potting mix. If you don't have perlite available you can just skip it as well..
Soil is good, it has cooling value, nd self nutrient values. I had exprience it

Perlite or pumice

Are earthworms in a succulent potting mix good for the plant? I found one in an empty pot, my jade died of over watering a couple of months back. I am wondering if I should I remove the earthworm and transfer it to another pot before planting another succulent in it? I basically just want to ensure that it doesn't eat up the roots or the stem of the plant. Also instead of old manure can sea weed fertilizer be added to the mixture? Does it do the same job?
Thanks for dis vdo .after how much time shud we add fertilizer ? after how much time d pot mix shud b changed?
Thank you very much for the detailed video n explanation

Hey ..I really liked your videos. Recently I bought a succulent, initially It was growing well but now the old lo leaves are dead and it is growing from the top and tiny leaves are coming. Please suggest to me how I can take care of plant.
Can we use vermiculite instead of perlite?? And a little amount of garden soil??
Don’t use vermiculite it retains moisture
whenever you handle perlite it should be wet. The reason behing is that it is a glass like crystal that has been puffed like a popcorn and the dust in perlite contain the same sharp glass particle so it can damage ur lungs or eyes if it goes in. adding water before handdling it can fix that.
very nice video.. 😃😃
we can not use thermocol balls instead of perlite, mam?
