Struggled with succulents and not known what the problem was? The answer could be in the soil.

Succulents need different soil from most plants in order to really thrive. Indoors or out, there are a lot of factors that determine the right soil for healthy, beautiful plants. Use the wrong type of soil and you'll find yourself endlessly troubleshooting care issues.

Soil is made up of organic and mineral components. In this context, organic refers to things that were once alive. Minerals, however, are natural, inorganic substances (not derived from living organisms).

The right ratio of organic to mineral material will support growth and prevent rot. It will also allow you to water your succulents deeply, but infrequently. The mineral content can range from 40%80% by volume depending on environmental conditions and the varieties being grown.

For indoor growing, we recommend a gritty, welldraining soil that is about 2/3 mineral grit by volume. Pay attention to the amount of time it takes the soil to dry after a thorough drenching and adjust the mineral to organic ratio as necessary.
