Hi All! So I observed that every time I repot my succulents (happy and have been around over a tear or two+) in ferti-lome (my usual go to brand) succulent soil the soil has consistently retained to much water despite being mixed with drainage components. The result: my very healthy succulents get sick after one watering/2-3 weeks once repotted. Has anyone else experience this? What’s your go to for succulent soil? Pic of the one I’m currently trying to save.
Succulent and cactus soil mix, one part soil, one part perlite and sometimes one part orchid bark

0 likes Actually I don’t add more perlite because it’s in my potting soil. Should I?

I do the same except i add charcoal, Orchid bark, and pumice or perlite. It seems to work. I just have a problem with succulents. I over water them 🙈🙈
0 likesI add more perlite for more drainage and it works very well just don’t over water only water when the leaves are softer then normal and wrinkle when you bend them good luck😁
