Different types of houseplants have their own unique requirements, which is why making your own DIY soilless potting mix can come in handy. A DIY soilless potting mix can be adjusted to include more or less of a particular ingredient depending upon plants’ needs. It is a rule of thumb to moisten the soil or water the plant— unless you are dealing with cacti, succulents, and the like, of course, because they do not need to be watered that often. Specifically, between two consecutive watering sessions, this potting soil maintains just enough moisture to allow the plant to grow continuously and steadily without drying the roots out. That is only normal, and when the plant that you have only recently planted into the reused potting mix looks rather worn out and fails to thrive, you know it is time to replace that mix with some fresh soil. This potting mix is the culmination of extensive research around the requirements of succulents; naturally, it has good aeration and water drainage, which are both characteristics of the habitat soils that such plants naturally occur in.The ingrained plant food is actually enough to feed your plant for up to three months because the release rate is slow to make sure that the plant is not suddenly exposed to more absorb.
