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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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 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?
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
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..
I am totally with you regarding the polystyrene balls in soil. Those are a major irritation to the avid gardener. I'd just like to add that actually it is very easy to separate the balls from the soil, unless they have been in it for too long. If you have a plant you purchased from the nursery that has these in its soil, all you have to do is separate the plant and its roots from the soil to the best possible extent. Now dip and gently shake the roots in a bucket of water. Once that is done, you should put all of the soil into a bucket of water. The balls will float on the surface and can be removed easily. Nursery guys, please don't put plastic into the soil.
Thanks! I think its better to make your own mix anyway as here the cheap cactus soil mixes are awful and the more expensive ones are way overpriced for so little.
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.
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💐
Hello Ekta, I love your channel. i myself have started growing indoor plants after watching your channel. the tips you give are amazing. Now my home looks like a mini jungle. hahha... I just want to know from where can i get river sand. i want to propagate some succulents. plz help
It's really amazing thing to add perlite. Your all videos are marvelous and full of knowledge. But dont know why I frequently kill my sensitive plants like Suclent. Is it the main thing depended upon watering method and amount of sunlite?
Ekta you n your videos are amazing awesome superb actually I started growing my own balcony garden with ur tips n care so plz share care fo stromanthe trio....
Your videos have been really helpful as I'm a beginner for having succulents. For me it's tough to make the soil by myself. Can you suggest any online brand for it? Thank you in advance. Keep up the great work :) ♥️
Activated charcoal will be good 😊…how ever both have different uses they can’t be used as substitute for each other like perlite will make the soil light and airy and help in making the soil media well draining….where as activated charcoal ( not regular charcoal ) it will help in drainage and it will also remove impurities from the soil
Amount of water and how many times in a week should be poured for propogation of succulents. Even a very little quantity of water spoils the leaves or, the stems which plugged/ cut for propogation. This is very important question. Please reply .. Thanks for your wonderful videos.
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?

Very imp information👍🏻
You can wear a medical mask too
Wet the perlite in bag before u add to the mix...no dust 👍

It's very interesting to see how people have different soil mix in different countries!
Thank you for sharing anyway! 😍😍😍😍

It's probably to give an illusion of perlite, as it looks similar and trick the buyer

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.
Very true about thermocol!
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
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... 🙂
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.

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
Great video. Thorough and informative. Thank you xoxo
