A Closer Look at Succulent Soil | Which Cactus and Succulent Soil is better?

Succulents are low-care plants but need the right kind of soil to thrive. Generally, they need a gritty soil that drains fast. Choosing the right kind of succulents and cactus soil that are commercially sold in the market can be difficult. In this video, I will present some of the succulent soil brands that I have tried and tested. We will look at their composition closer and test their ability to drain and absorb water. There will also be a BONUS type of soil that I will show in the latter part of this video so keep watching until the end.
