# I had posted about Ruby, my ruby cascade, who hadn’t been doing well…

I had posted about Ruby, my ruby cascade, who hadn’t been doing well and was dropping leaves very quickly. I’m happy to report that after a repot in chunky soil she seems to be a lot better. I recently spotted a bit of new growth on her!

I also bought a water meter on Amazon and it has made a world of difference with my plants. I find that I wasn’t doing a good job of knowing if they had dried out enough by using my finger. I’m watering less frequently now with the much more accurate meter.

I was very upset that my pepperspot plant died, so I foolishly bought a new one (much smaller). She is also sporting some new growth. I’m glad to see that they’re both not dying!

Cute! I'm keeping my eyes open for a ruby cascade.

They’re gorgeous plants. I hope the health of mine continues to improve!

Congrats! I have a very airy blend for all my peps. Little to no actual soil depending on the pot size and stage of development. Mostly just orchid bark, pumice or perlite, sphagnum peat or coco chips and pithe. Maybe a small portion of worm castings or all purpose soil but smaller pots maybe not even. Pretty fluffy and chunky maybe some charcoal.

I just used up my one bag of cactus and succulent soil so I need to get a new bag tomorrow. I’ve heard espoma cactus blend is good. Have you tried it?

I haven't tried it. I bought all my ingredients bulk and just mix it when I need it

That’s smart. Do you just mix it up or do you use a specific ratio?

I do have a bag of dr earth all purpose to mix in though

Lately with all the peperomia obsession I give them a very balanced portion and I try to keep the blend ratio slightly more airy than clumpy

Thank you! I will have to give this a try!
