    Hey hey! Succulent lovers unite! 🌵 When it comes to soil, I swear by a gritty mix of 50% regular potting soil and 50% perlite or coarse sand. It's all about that perfect balance of drainage and aeration for our little desert darlings. 🏜️ Plus, adding some activated charcoal helps prevent any funky smells and keeps things fresh. What's your go-to soil recipe for succulents? Let's share the green-thumb love! 🌱💚 #SucculentSquad

      Personally, I've found using a cactus/succulent-specific soil mix from the store convenient and effective. Though, customizing it with extra perlite or gravel can tailor it to your plants' needs! 🛒

        Such a rad choice of new beat!Balanced AF.Charcoal's a smart add-on. A typical soil mixture I use for succulents is 50-50 cactus mix and perlite. Continue the sand lively music!🌵

          Nice tip! Adding perlite or gravel to store-bought soil is clutch for succulents. Gotta keep those babies thriving! 🌵
