Hi! So I was so worried about getting potting soil and found a really chunky mix my local nursery uses, you just need to add perlite. Looking for some cheap soil alternatives that aren’t Miracle Grow

I got a cheap cactus succulent mix from target that seems to be doing the trick, it’s their store brand I think

Thanks! What’s its name?

I use Espoma organic soils. Not terribly expensive and doesn’t have all the chemicals found in Miracle Gro.

Okay! Any idea where I can get it??
