Preparing Succulent Soil at Home 🌵
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 май 2018
- 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
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.
Hello it's a pleasure to watch your videos which are informative. U r charming too . God bless you.
I've never tried this mix before, I'll have to test it out here in Florida. Thank you so much for sharing!
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.
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.
I loved the video. Thank you! You sounded so sweet and happy sharing this wish us and I appreciate it a ton. Thank you 😊
Wow very nice and very clear explanation, where other channels doesn't. Love a lot. Thank u. Keep on doing more videos
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
Thank you for inspiring me thru ur videos..
Your love for plants n soil is inspiring . Best wishes
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

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.
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?
so inspiring and detailed... i ordered peace lily from ugaoo ,received a small but healthy plant and gona try dhaniya methi n tomato as decribed in ur beginners series... thanks...u have mastered ur work... flawless explanation... way to go girl💐
You have done a great narrative. I’m just impressed thank you.
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... 🙂

Thank you for the detail information about succulent. I very much like your videos. N interested in gardening now. Thank you once again. Keep it up.
Thank u so much u gave very essential information
How do you keep your plants so green? Mine turns a bit yellow.
Overwatering, dont over water your succulent.
Hey! Can we revive a completely dried succulent? I think it's probably dead 🙈
I was gonna ask the same🙌
Yes an extremely dehydrated succulent can be revived 😊🪴
Thank you very much for the detailed video n explanation
You taught very well and beautifully. thank you very much
Pl. Demonstrate watering after planting pups. N frequency too later
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
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
Thank you ! Great explanation !
Little soil helps in increasing microbial activities....also helps nonavailabe nutrients to be available to succulents
Hi garden up..it's been a while since I watched ur videos..it's so nice to see u again😄...yippee 17k subscribers...congrats...last i saw u at 10k...God bless u..I love ur videos.. especially the way u say..." Hi guys"😂😍... Haha
Hii.. thank you soo much for your love 💚💚💚
Thank you for this valuable information
Great video, many thanks.
Can u give me link of compost, in the description it opens up cocopeat and also link for sand and few good seculants, planning for tea cup seculants
Hi, the links are in the description. For sand, you will have to enquire with the local nursery.
can you do a video on lucky bamboo care and how to make it grow healthier
Sure, will do a video on that..
ruclips.net/video/mfgh1wANWrw/видео.html
Good information.. Thankyou
Really nice thanks for your helpful video
Hey I have a question
Do I have to change the soil of my succulent overtime??
No
Where can I buy the sand from. Thanks in advance
Well explained, thanks for sharing this amazing video 👏👌👍
Wonderful video!
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
You didn't water after potting the succulents . When to water after potting succulents , please let me know .
After planting the succulents.. you should add water till it's drained from drainage hole..
