What’s a good recommended fertilizer/ratio for succulents and cacti? Better yet, tell me your favorite go-to! I’ve seen so many mixed reviews and suggestions. I know houseplants are recommended 20-20-20, but it varies on what I’ve 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 don’t 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!

Show me how you use your Leca! I want to experiment with this medium, but I’m unsure. Pictures if you have them please.

Would anyone like to recommend their grow light or what to look for in one? I’m growing regular ol’ big box indoor plants.

I bought my garden supplies… second attempt at this is twenty years. I am sooo excited! šŸ’ƒā˜ŗļø This bag holds everything I need for container gardening. I have a few extra supplies that didn’t come with this kit and they fit perfectly. šŸ¤šŸŖ“
