Soil/Pot: To ensure the health of succulents, they need porous, well-draining soil to live in. Repot succulents in
TNG Organic Cactus Soil Mix and add grit such as coarse sand,
perlite, or
pumice to make it even easier to drain.
Watering: Rosette succulents prefer desert conditions; they will tolerate a period without watering but don't like to sit in wet soil. The best way of watering is the soak-and-dry method. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry.
