Hi,
I want to know what others use for potting mix? I was told to use cactus and perlite. I have seen many diffrent types of sites that say diffrent things to use... So what do you mix?

Susan, if you ask ten people, you may get 10 different recipes. However, the one thing that most of us will agree on is that it must be fast draining.

I, personally, use Supersoil Palm and Cactus Mix and have had good results. I have also used potting soil mixed with an equal amount of perlite in the past.

Hello,
I also use cactus and palm then add the perilite.. I can't get ther supersoil or the pimice here.
I have heard other people also use regular potting soil and then add things to it...
I was just asking what others use... Thanks.
