Currently using a pre mixed bag of cactus soil, but I feel like it’s not very good. Any tips or specific brands that are the best?

### Kades commented on 2024-09-26

I add orchid bark to mine!

I make my own, but premade is fine as long as you add extra grit. Any I tried back in the beginning held way too much moisture. 50/50 organic/inorganic is roughly where I am now.

I use miracle-gro cactus, palm and citrus soil mixed with 50% perlite. I up the perlite for my lithiops.
