ABOUT THIS VIDEO: DIY potting mix for succulents | potting mix for cacti and succulents 🌵
Hello!! In this video we will do a DIY potting mix for succulents, which of course is also a great potting mix for cacti ! This succulent potting mix is great for all succulents and cacti, as it is big on drainage. After making my video on my general potting mix for indoor plants (which in my opinion is the best potting mix for indoor plants :)), many of you guys asked if I could do another one specifically on my potting mix for succulents recipe. This potting mix for succulents and cactus highlights the benefits of worm castings for succulents :), as well as the beneficial factors that sand and perlite bring to a potting mix for cacti and succulents :). I hope this succulent potting mix recipe will help you keep your succulents super happy!
