Miracle Gro succulent and cactus mix has worked just fine for me.

### GRM commented on 2026-06-09

I usually do the same as above but add because balls and extra perlite. Anything that drains quickly should do well!

Been using Jacks Gritty Mix with regular potting soil. Percentage dependent upon the type of succulent. Echeveria and cacti about 10% potting mix. Up to 50% for haworthia and peperomia.

2nd this. I switched to this and love it

It all depends on your location as well. I live in the desert so I have them in Fat Plants Succulent mix adding more pumice and perlite to it.

I use this and mine seem happy, for some of my plant posse I add a dose of perlite to this mix too…

I just checked this out. It looks like something I want to try but it’s only one size. I buy Jacks in high quantities to save money. I have a delivery coming tomorrow for 6 gallons. I buy directly from Bonsai Jack instead of Amazon because it’s cheaper. The one gallon price is the same for both. I’ll check out buying directly.

Wow, that’s a lot!!! But I get how buying in bulk cuts price. I’ve gone through at least 2 (probably 3) bags of this soil so far…next I’m getting some Aroid soil for Herman Monstera and a few other newbies!
