How do I replant my Succulents?
I lost a link that was sent to me, and I don't know what type of soil to plant them in. I think is a mixture of perlite and or pumice, and compost, and or coconut coir chips. I'm not sure as some of these things are not readilly available at my local Garden Shop. I love succulents and I want to give them a good home. Does any body know what type od soil mixture to use with succulents? Thanks.!

Hi Deb, succulents thrive in well-drained soil. We normally make our own mix using 1 part bark chips (coconut hair and peat moss work too), 1 part perlite, 1 part small stones and 1 part common old garden soil, with a dash of the original soil mix, just for luck if we’re dividing the succulents.
