Succulents are suitable for planting in what type of soil
Summary: This article discusses the type of soil suitable for planting succulents and the simplest soil mixing and green plant care experience. Here is a detailed introduction.
Loess is suitable for raising succulents, making them plump and juicy!
Let's first take a look at the "peach beauty" of the flower friend "Jin Yang Succulents," which is completely planted in loess soil. The leaves are plump and pink, making you want to take them all home!
Not to mention the "must-die-in-summer" variety of jade butterflies, which, when casually thrown into the loess, no longer turn black and rot in the summer, but grow into large cabbages!

Besides loess, what other soils can be used to grow succulents?
In addition to the pure loess soil for growing succulents introduced today, there are actually many other useful soils that can be used to grow succulents.
1. Peat Soil
Peat soil is the most commonly used soil, sterile and non-toxic, with strong breathability, sufficient water retention and fertility, and it can be used for soil mixing, leaf insertion, and seedling raising.
2. Decomposed Leaf Soil
If you don't want to buy soil, you can also make decomposed leaf soil. Dig some garden soil from the roadside, mix it with leaves, pine needles, etc., then water it thoroughly with rice washing water and seal it for fermentation. When the fermentation is complete, it becomes nutrient-rich decomposed leaf soil!
3. Coir
Coir is the fiber powder from coconut shells, with strong water retention, which can reduce water loss. At the same time, its good breathability can prevent root rot, thus promoting the growth of succulents.
