You want to use something that has good drainage. Adding perlite, sand, gravel, wood, ECT. Or you can just buy “ cactus \& succulent “ soils from a garden store! Along with making sure your pot has good drainage holes in it! I like to put rocks or little marble later at the bottom to add extra drainage help! Hope this was helpful, good luck!!

Don’t put rocks on the bottom of pots. You can mix rocks throughout the soil to aid drainage.

My neck of the woods has high humidity so I use Bonsai Jack gritty mix and clay pots. I don’t have to water much either.
