How do you guys make your soil for desert cacti? In terms of ratio of organic to non organic materials? And which ones do you use? Thanks!

    fine bark, coarse perlite, lava rock, pumice stone are all good add-ins — or you can use a blend of just these for a soilless mix

      Can orchid bark (fir bark) be used? Also, is regular horticultural perlite a coarse perlite?

      yes to orchid bark, but sometimes that’s reallyy chunky and i like to opt for something finer. any perlite will do, also. it’s hard to find (personally) but some larger piece perlite exists out there too
