See full answer. Also know, what type of soil is best for succulents?
sandy potting soil
Additionally, how do I prepare my soil for succulents? Create a fast-draining, succulent-friendly soil by combining equal parts sharp builder's sand; a larger, coarse material, such as gravel or pumice, and either the existing garden soil or potting mix. Pour the materials into your garden space and mix with the shovel. Smooth out the surface, but don't pat down.
Similarly, it is asked, can you use regular soil for succulents?
When succulents are small, they need more water, so a dense soil (like regular potting soil) works at that stage. But leaving succulents in this soil for too long can quickly cause a succulent to rot–or in some cases, prevent it from getting the water it needs. Peat moss is the primary ingredient in most potting soils.
How often should succulents be watered?
How often to water and fertilize: While growing, cacti and succulents should be watered at least once a week. Some people water more often than this. During each watering, give the soil a good soaking, so that water runs out of the 'drainage holes' of the pots.
