Well-covered variables such as climate, pot material, pot size, plant type, plant to pot size ratio. Not many videos here on KZfaq from "reputable" people go into the level of details you have here. Very concise explanations, not long and drawn out. Great stuff!

This video was so well put together and informative. You won me over!

Thank you ! The best succulents soil making KZfaq so far ❤

All my succulents kaputt....glad to find the Guru of Succulent here!

That was an incredible (in depth) explanation of all the different amendments I have in my potting shed! I learned so much more than just how to make a custom potting mix! THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to film this video, I feel like you were joking class just for me 😊 I look forward to checking out your channel!

Thank you for sharing! I’m new to succulents and been watching tons of youtube video on succulent mix soil, I find your video the BEST so far; straight to the point and clear.

Very educational video pertaining to cactus 🌵 and succulents.

it was so helpful and very informative 😊 many kinds of soil and effective element mixes that can improve my garden 😊 thanks so much for your sharing 👍 looking forward to more of your videos 😃

Thanks for this. I've been looking for plant care tips for my succulents (i just started FYI) from Malaysia given that's where I am. It's quite tricky this climate, despite being 'summer' all year long the amount of light is often inconsistent due to the rain we're getting

I live in Atlanta, Georgia USA aka ‘Hot Lanta’ - I’ve been growing my own succulents for about 18 months and I’m struggling with some varieties due to our frequent rain and humid weather. We can also go through periods of drought depending on the time of the year and even ice. This video was so helpful and insightful. I learned quite a bit and I just want to say thank you for being so detailed and using visuals. You have a new subscriber and I’m going to apply your advice to quite a few new plants I had outside that had to be cut or dug up and brought inside due to a rare icy/snow event that swept through the southeast. I’ll take notes and see how they progress over the next few months. I’ll be watching more videos now because I want to see what else you’ve shared. Thanks again.

Good explanation 👏 thank you

Thanks. ❤️😘

Thank you for sharing your excellent tutorial..will be using pumice from now on instead of perlite.. can’t find those others in my area.. I’m starting to grow & off to a good start.😘😘

Nice video.. thanks for sharing... love from India ❤

good advice. Should of watched your video before I started killing my succulents.

Excellent video👍🏻👍🏻 I’ve never used rice hulls or clay pebbles , but I will start using them . Also will look into ordering the zeolite and maifan stones.

Good Sacculant mix

so informative and it really help a lot what to choice better soil mix

Thank you for this!!!

You have me to subscribe your channel. Awesome 👍

What about cinder or rice husk ash?

Lots of info - thank you!

Thank you for this video. Can you add worm castings to coco coir?

What is the name of the fertilizer and insecticide you use?

Um the avg temperature in my place is 34°C.. in summer its 40°C.. and its very very humid so uh is peat moss or coco peat better? Also can i add vermicompost?

Very thorough video! Hi from KL~ 😊 I would like to ask how long does it take for your succulent soil in small pots (similar size to the one in your left hand at 1:25) to dry completely? Beginner succulent owner here 🙋🏻‍♀️ i dont know when to water my succulent

omg I have been trying to grow Giant sequoias they hate damp soils! 4 Tries 4 dead, I bought 2 more, I have grown Coast redwoods no problem they love it. but Sequoias always seem to get root rot, SO am going to use cactus mix and it drains really fast I pour water in and it leaves the pot within 30 seconds, while the other mix I was using took hours and we get a lot f rain so they died

Thank you so much for the video! Searched many videos on succulent care but none gave clear answers like your channel. Subscribed to your channel. I have two questions? Which fertilizer did you used and can I use neem cake instead for neem oil as a fungicide and insecticide? Many thanks!

Olá amigo. Coloque em português o que você colocou😍

From India. Thank you for speaking English.

is the climate relevant if we keep the plants indoors ?

Still using this mix?

Hi! Where you buy lava rocks from?

hai . please make a video abt your other plants at the back

Do we need to wash the akadama?

Thanks. What insecticide do you use?

Ohhh you’re in Malaysia!! I love your succulent mix but I’m in Florida, I always have issues finding a lot of these ingredients. I do have pumice but for some reason it’s hard to find lava rock. If anyone from Florida would like to share some resources for these ingredients I’d really appreciate it. I will probably substitute it for decomposed granite though. Does anyone know of a non poisonous insecticide to use as a substitute for the soil mix? I haven’t searched yet for all the other products… but I like this soil mix. Thank you so much…

A sifter is a great way to get rid of the powdery parts of your Pericles and such.

Do you leave your succulents out in the sun? I have mine indoors with no direct sun, also in hot and humid climate, i doubt i can use a 50-50 mix like you, mine would probably perish. What ratio would you recommend?

thank you for sharing, i learned a lot hoping that my string of pearl love your soil mix, i always have string of pearl but sad to say it always die i dont know what string of pearl or string heart wants😥😥

What is the pink insecticide you added please?

Hi..I am from India.. what will be the ratio( Grit & other items ) for potting Catus in my weather ?

Is that Echeveria Painted Frills?

So in your hot and humid climate, u use 50% compost? Im in Fl, hot, humid and suprr rainy in the Summer. Im trying to learn where to start, im transitioning my succs from indoor to outdoor and i dont use clay pots.

What kind of insecticide do you use?

I’m a little confused, in the beginning when you were talking about Coco Coir and Peat Moss, I thought you said you used them 50/50 but then when you made the soil, you just said you used 50% Peat Moss? So you don’t use Coco Coir?

What the two fertilizer name . Actually i am from India

Do you mix the leca balls with the mix or only layer the bottom of the pot?

How about adding sand in the mix? Is that ok?

uhmm what is the best succulent fertilizers to use??

Which brand is that insecticide?

1. Pumice still does float. Not to the extent that perlite does, but pumice certainly floats. 2. Placing those clay balls on the bottom of the pot before adding the main medium is terrible for healthy root formation. It's a "solution" to a problem that wouldn't exist if one were to simply just use a correctly-sized pot for the plant in the first place. When you use them in order to get "better drainage", what you're doing is raising the water table. That's a sure way to ensure your plant doesn't grow good as good of a root system as it might otherwise. Use a shallower pot (it's always better to be under-potting than over-potting xerophytes like cacti and succulents anyway), use higher inorganics i.e. grit/granite in your mix, or just put a layer of newspaper if the pot's drainage holes are letting fresh potting mixture fall through -- all infinitely better than using those pointless clay balls.
