I would like to apologize for the mispronunciation of the word “Succulents” it should be “Suh-kyu-lents” and not “suh-ka-lents”. If I mispronounced other words, I’m really sorry. I will be correcting this on the upcoming videos. In addition, I’ll try to buy some noise reduction microphone, so I can record during daytime and not late at night. This will give me enough time and energy to thoroughly review the recordings before uploading the video.
Expect in the upcoming videos that I’ll continue to improve my videos in order to provide quality, and concise contents. I’m open for all the suggestions and constructive criticism. Again, I’m really grateful to your continuous support to my Channel. Maraming salamat! 🙂
it's no big deal, you actually pronounced pumice correctly compared to other locally produced vids
Isabela Razo Thank you 🥰
Oh girl, don't worry about that! It's all good.
Bakit wala na po kayong upload? Waiting po ako eh.. Bago plang po akong ngaalaga ng succulents. KUDOS!
Cleide Blackwell Thank you! 🥰
Very good demonstration as well as explanations. Thank you!!
thank you fir the info.God bless
Hello everyone 👋🏻 Thank you for watching 🙂
For those asking where I buy the materials:
For Ramgo products you can buy them in Ace hardware, or handyman. If you are in Metro Manila and willing to pay a shipping fee, just contact them on Facebook (Ramgo Seeds). You may screenshot their packaging on the video to help you out finding these.
For the Cocopeat with Charcoal, I also buy this at Ace hardware of Handyman. The brand I use is Cocogreen.
Note: You can use other brands of vermicast or cocopeat. Cocopeat doesn’t vary much.
For pumice, perlite, and vermiculite, I usually buy these during events from (Arneth, or Everrich) or on the physical store of Everich in Quezon City Memorial Circle. These materials also don’t vary much. You can check Lazada or shoppee for these products. Again, remember to clean the pumice and dry them under the sun for at least 5 days. Making sure that all the materials you used are clean is important to avoid root rot and other pest infestation.
UPDATE: For vermicast I’m using Kahariam vermicast since it is both FPA registered and OCCP certified. You don’t have to sift this since it is already sifted. I can assure you that this one is clean and 90% vermicast.
Thank You 🙂

Very nice video.
Thank you very much!
What exactly is the "soil less medium"? Is it peat?
Peat moss is hydrophobic, which means it must be moist AT ALL TIMES, which isn't good for succulents. If it dries out, it won't absorb water as you water it. Coco coir would be good because you would have less difficulty watering it👍🌱
Whaaaa...yung pusa gusto ko.
Thank you for watching! I love cats 🥰
thank u po s tips sir...katulad ko nag uumpisa pong mag alaga ng CNS 🙏🎋🌱
Salamat din po sa panonood! 🙂 Gagawa pa po ako ng maraming video na makakatulong sa inyo na mga nagsisimula sa pag-aalaga ng CNS. Abang na lang po kayo.

Just subscribed. Thank you. love your informative video. Where can I purchase all these ingredients to make my own mix as well?
Thank you for watching! I usually buy them on online stores/app or on garden stores.
Nice ng mga succulents mo sir pro yong mga pamice etc...san po yan nabibili online?
New subscriber here from Pangasinan
Thank you for watching and subscribing. I’ll try to upload more often this month po.
Yayamanin soil mix haha.
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂 I use this for m expensive succulents. I also have a cheaper succulent mix para sa mga commonly sold succulents. 6 parts Pumice, 2 part soilless potting mix (or carbonized rice hull), 1 part cocopeat, and 1 part vermicast.
You have a nice vlog. Very informative. May I ask, Where do you get the sterilized soil medium?How do you sterilize if its diy? Thanks for your reply.
Thank you for watching! I buy them from Ace Hardware or Handyman, or at Lazada Ramgo official store. You can put the soilmix on microwave to sterilize the medium or you could also cook it.
Hi po, ano po kaya magandang substitute ng vermiculite and sterilized soil less medium? wala kasi akong mabilhan dito sa province namin po.
Thank you very much your comment s is very important thanks so much
Thank you! 🤗
What grade are the pumice and the perlite? I know perlite comes in fine and coarse P500 and P400.
thank you sa information about sa soil mix...do you use osmocote for your succulents? ang ganda kasi nila at mukhang healthy
Thank you for watching! Vermicast provides the required nutrients ng succulents. But sometimes when I haven’t repotted for awhile, I add few pieces of osmocote or azelai
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching!
Dami nmn yoko na nga....char
Sir pwede poba sa mga stinkies yung soilmix for succulents
thank you so much for your informative video on soil mix...if i may ask sir, are you familiar or able to use fish amino acid for your CNS...a gardener, cactus propagator have introduced and advised me to use this on my CNS...thank you so kuch sir...God bless...
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂 Sorry I’m not familiar with Fish amino acid. Vermicast and granular slow release fertilizer lang po ginagamit ko na fertilizer.
Thanks for informative video, Pl inform can we use Charcoal (wood coal) in potting mix?
Yes you can. I sometimes add crushed charcoal in my soil mix.
new subscriber here! 2years ago , dami ko namatay na succulent so nagstay nalang ako sa mga cactus ko. But after watching this parang gusto ko magbalik loob. 😁 qq. can I use kusot or ipa instead of cocopeat?
Thank you for watching! Kahit ako po more on cactus na muna and Aloes mga kinocollect ko ngayon, mas matibay sila sa init eh and less requirements hahaha. Si kusot po, medyo mainit po ‘yun kapag nagdecomposed kaya hindi siya magandang soil amendments. Si Ipa po pwede, you can also use carbonized rice hull din.
di ko po gets ung soil less medium, are they mixture of cocopeat also? and what else?
Newbie here.Thank you for this video.I don't have vermiculite. Can I omit it?
Yes you can. Sorry for the late reply.
Where can I order the kinds of soil nix that you used in your succulents?
I m from india
Will this soil mixer work even in cold weather?
6:30 an ant was moving on your right thumb 😍love from india brother
Could you tell how can I buy online this soilmix ingredients and seeds. It’s great help I’m from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
I like the cat.
So informative sir! San kapo nakakabili ng akadama? Ty sir.
Thank you very much for watching! 🙂 I didn’t use akadama in this soilmix, but I buy my akadama from Spikes & Barrel PH (Facebook). There are also other seller of Akadama at Facebook, Lazada, and Shoppee
Hello! Vermiculite has coarse and fine :) What did you use?
Thank you for watching and sorry for the late reply! I use the small grade vermiculite. It’s around 4-6mm size, the same size with munggo pumice.
Thank you ❤
San po nakakabili ng sterilized soilless medium?
Hello, ‘yung brand is ramgo: s.shopee.ph/7Kc87zNAe5
Medyo expensive na siya now kaya ang gamit ko na ay carbonized rice hull.
Is your soilmix recipe outlined in this video for young succulents, mature succulents or succulents of any age? Thank you
🌱☘️🌿
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
will cocopeat, vermicast, and pumice suffice for succulents?
how to water the succulents after planting.. thank you so much. God bless po
Thank you for watching! I usually water them after a week. I dilute plant and root hormone to the water. Then I water at the rim of the pot, just enough to moisten the soilmix.
Hi I am from India ur succulent plants is too good please send wr u bought these items
Sir gawa din kayo video ng step by step ng seed sowing ng cactus...
Thank you very much for watching! 🙂I appreciate your suggestion, seed sowing is already on my list. Thanks
Nkakatuwa kc lahat ng mixture ng soil na nilalagay mo my rationale... very informative.. enjoy kna manood natututo ka pa...
Salamat po. I made this video not only to share my soilmix but also to inform people on the advantages ng mga soil ingredients. Para pwede din po kayo mag-experiment on your own. I’ll be making a longer version nito soon, explaining the pros and cons ng mga nilalagay sa soilmix. Asahan niyo po na the upcoming videos will always be informative. Salamat po sa support 😀
Hi,
Can I use vermicompost instead of vermicast? If yes, will I be losing out on something I could have provided using vermicast?
Yes, you can substitute vermicast for ermicompost.
You will not miss any benefits, since both vermicast and vermicompost have nutrients.
What’s other plants can this mix be used for?
san niyo po nabili yung terra cotta pot niyo ang ganda po kasi
Thank you for watching! 🙂 Sa Daiso po. 3 pcs for 88 pesos 🥰
Can I use potting mix instead of coco peat? Any advice thank you
Yes you can! As long as the potting mix is clean.
Hello po, ask ko lang po anong size ng pumice na ginamit nyo? (Matanghito, Monggo or Corn? ) And yung Vermiculite din po, ano po ba dapat? (Fine or Coarse?) Tsaka okay lang po ba na pag bumili ako, magkahalo na po yung vermicast and soilless? Lastly, po okay lang po yung cocopeat kahit wala ng charcoal?
Thanks for your response po and for this informative video! ☺️
#Beginner
Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback! 🙂 ‘Yung size po ng pumice na gamit ko is Monngo size, for the vermiculite coarse grade. Okay lang po if magkahalo na, and yes okay lang din po na walang charcoal (added benefit lang po ‘yung charcoal).
What can be used as substitute for pumice po? We don't have that in our area. I have to travel 2 hours pa po to purchase pumice and am not sure if gardening stores in that area has a ready to purchase pumice or I have to purchase it online.
Thank you for watching! You can use any materials that is gritty such as lava rocks or perlite. In my location po kasi, pumice is the cheapest soil ammendment para maging gritty ang soilmix.
Hi po is it okay lang dn po to use 70% pumice and 30% vermicast? For succs. Halos yan dn po kse tips na nakita ko.. but ill do the same as yours kapag nacomplete ko un mixture mo. Hehe
Thank you very much for watching! 🙂 Yes, okay lang po ang 70% pumice and 30% vermicast. Belfiore Succulent Collection (you can check them on Facebook) actually use that soilmixture for their succulents, and their succlents are very healthy. Don’t be afraid to experiment on your own soilmix po, I just showed mine pero I didn’t say na ito ‘yung tamang soilmix. Pinakita ko lang po para may idea din po kayo incase you want to make your own. Salamat po sa pag-comment 😊
Thank you for this video. Been wanting to really do my own soil mix. May you please suffice me the measurement of the "part" thing? And what is the size of the cup you are using? It would be a great help.
Also, is this suitable also for cacti?
Thank you! 🌿
A "part" is no specific size/amount. If a recipe is 1 part A, 2 parts B, 3 parts C then you choose the same size container/spoon/cup. If you choose to use 1 teaspoon, then it would be 1 teaspoon of A, 2 teaspoons of B, and 3 teaspoons of C. Another example: if you use any cup from your kitchen- 1 cup of A, 2 cups of B, 3 cups of C. That way the ratio is always the same, no matter the size of what you use.
can i use pebbles as a substitue for pumice? and mix it with a normal soil?
Thank you for watching! Pebbles are quite heavy, thus hindi ko po marerecommend. I don’t also recommend ordinary soil since it may contain microbes and substances that may be harmful for our succulents.
Whats your cactus potting mix
what is the difference between cocopeat and the soilless medium?
Thank you for watching! 🙂Cocopeat can be a component of soilless medium. Soilless medium is a medium wherein there’s no soil. It’s just made of different organics like peat, wood chips, biochar, bark, coir and etc. The soilless medium I used, based from its look is composed of biochar.
Bro can we give npk 19:19:19 foliar spray to succulents and cacti?
I don't recommend spraying 19:19:19 foliar spray for succulents. It is much safer to use slow release fertilizer. Too much fertilizer may cause etiolation and make the succulent leaf bigger and not compact.
@@theplantprinceph ok .. thnku sir
Your video helped me a lot but akadama, pumice are not available in india easily .. can you please tell other substitute for that...thanks buddy 😊👍❤️
Small gravel will be a good alternative. It’s what I use. Good luck ❣️
Any gritty materials will do. River sand, lava rock, gravel, crushed granite, as long as it well help improve the drainage.
Anothr question bro..when mgrepot kayo po, magdilig kayo agad? New suculent nabili ko..repot ako para mg grow.malilit pa kasi.. please reply.. salamat po..
No po. I let the roots callus muna. Here’s a video of me potting a succulent. ruclips.net/video/37D82kcoqN4/видео.htmlsi=ayoY6XPG7lR__G4B
where did you buy the small pot?
Thank you for watching! I buy the terracota pots on Daiso store.
Where can I buy the materials for that soil mixture? ThNk you
Thank you for watching and sorry for the late reply. You can buy the materials at online shops like Lazada or Shopee or at your local garden store.
Nice video 👌. New subscriber friend here. Stay connected my friend.
If we have no Ramgo sterilized.soilless seedling potting mix..what kind of soil you recommend?
You can substitute it with carbonized rice hull.
@@theplantprinceph Thank you po...Try k po potting mix nyo...

Sa Lazada po. Ramgo ‘yung brand. If wala po kayo mahanap, pwede niyo isubstitute ‘yung Carbonized rice hull.
what is Soilless medium?
is perlite the same thing sold in garden shops that look like marble chips
Thank you for watching! Nope, perlite is a light material po.
Hi po...new bie po here...ask ko lng...un loam soil nmin dito mixed with vermicast,carbonized rice haul cocopeat etc actually complete sya except pumice...ok lng ba sya as my base lagyn ko nlng ng pumice?tnx po
Thank you for watching! Yes, you can mix that with 70% pumice.
Thank you sir...
Can i use pumice & loam soil? For my succulents?
Thank you for watching! I don’t recommend using loam soil, garden soil, or animal manure since it may contains microbes or substance that can harm our succulents po.
Those different soil for succulents.. Where to buy that? Im a beginner po pls reply
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
For Ramgo products you can buy them in Ace hardware, or handyman. If you are in Metro Manila and willing to pay a shipping fee, just contact them on Facebook (Ramgo Seeds). You may screenshot their packaging on the video to help you out finding these.
For the Cocopeat with Charcoal, I also buy this at Ace hardware of Handyman. The brand I use is Cocogreen.

For pumice, perlite, and vermiculite, I usually buy these during events from (Arneth, or Everrich) or on the physical store of Everich in Quezon City Memorial Circle.

For vermicast I’m using Kahariam vermicast since it is both FPA registered and OCCP certified. You don’t have to sift this since it is already sifted. I can assure you that this one is clean and 90% vermicast. Available on Lazada or Shoppe.
You could also experiment on your own succulent soilmix, just make sure na you use 60-70% inorganic (pumice, perlite etc) and 30-40% organic (vermicast, carbonized rice hull, peatmoss, cocopeat, soilless medium).
What exactly is Sterilized soilless medium and what can be used as a substitute?
It’s just a brand of potting mix here (usually composed of organic materials). You could use any potting mix available in your area.
4 pumice, 2 perlite, 1 vermiculite, 2 cocopeat w charcoal, 1 vermicast, 1 part soil-less medium.
ok lng po b maglagay ng lava rocks s soilmix or toppings lng tlg cia?
Thank you for watching! 🙂 Yes po okay lang. Lava rocks can be an alternative for pumice po.
Hi, ask ko lang po.. pwede po ba na sand garden, perlite and garden soil lang po ang mix for my succulent babies? Hindi ko po kasi afford lahat yan pero ang ganda 😭
Thank you for watching! Yes, you can always experiment naman para sa soilmix mo. Make sure lang na well draining.
Salamat po :)
