Best soil brand for succulents, cactus, euphorbia? I tried several brands from local stores and they always disappoint :(

    I don’t usually use a specific soil brand for my succulents. I like to use Miraclegro, tho. I don’t usually use that much soil with fertilizer when it comes to cacti, because they come from the desert where the nutrients is low. I like to make an airier mix with good drainage to avoid root rot (common with a lot of my succulents) using extra perlite, and if I need a little extra oomph, I’ll use orchid bark, coconut coir/chips, or even break up twigs from my backyard! Volcanic pumice or gravel also work as well. Succulents, cacti, and euphorbias also like gritty mixes.

    I use Jacks Gritty Mix. Sometimes on its own, but usually mix with regular potting soil. I use up to about 25% potting soil with Jacks. Buy directly, because it’s a few bucks cheaper than thru Amazon.

    I use a mix of Hoffman Organic Cactus Succulent Mix, Bonsai Jack Gritty Mix, and Molly's Soiless Cactus Succulent Mix.

    Everyone’s given different answers lol but I use Sol Soils because it’s the easiest for me to get a hold of besides something like Miracle Gro or ordering online.

      Yep, we all think we have the best. But that gives the poster some insight as to what is available and then up to them to research what works for them.
