# Hello all! I am reaching out because I am a new plant mom. I am…

Hello all!  
I am reaching out because I am a new plant mom.  
I am filling out each of my plants info in the app, but I’m unsure how to tell what soil is used for any of them. I have bought them second hand or through a nursery so I have no idea what was used. I also have 19 different plants at the moment… Let me know if you have any suggestions or anyway to help me, thank you!!

I would just select the general potting mix option. It’s probably just general, meh soil. I don’t think it will make a big difference to whatever planta recommends anyway

Awesome! Thank you so much Darcy:)

If any of your plants are cactus or succulent they're probably planted in a cactus type soil. When you repot them you can go back and change your selection according to the soil you purchase for them.

Just to add to KJM, if you are new, succulent soil will look as if it has gravel or white stones in it. More than likely you wont run in to it though.
