Whatās a good recommended fertilizer/ratio for succulents and cacti? Better yet, tell me your favorite go-to! Iāve seen so many mixed reviews and suggestions. I know houseplants are recommended 20-20-20, but it varies on what Iāve seen for cacti and succulents.

I want to know will the combination of indoor potting soil,perlite and orchid bark make a nice soil for most house plants? I am trying to pot my spider plant, monstera and cactus plant. Please help!

Does anyone have website, brand, or store recommendations for cheap but good soil and planting materials? I donāt have a huge budget but I want to really take care of my plants. I take in a lot of rescues and want to give them the best shot they have at thriving!

Any tips for fertilizers I should get? I want to start fertilizing my plants but everything I see always recommends something different so itās hard to pinpoint what I should get. I mainly want some to give my plants the extra nutrients they need and some for helping with propagating
