This video is awesome. But I'd love to see how you'd apply this soil in indoor setting. I assume you'd suggest the first recipe, since indoor succs/cacti don't have the light, heat and wind that out door plants have that help keep roots dry and healthy. Mentioning the last soil recipe is good for house plants is great and gives me an idea how to apply that recipe. Thanks for your clear videos and showing examples of why or why not to use something. I get frustrated reading articles that just say "use a well draining soil" cause that... really doesn't mean much to a nuub like me without clear examples.
Have been waiting for this video since the last water retention test video. Help save a lot time and $ for beginner like me from trying out different mixes. Thanks!
@@succulentsforbeginners Maybe how to grow from seeds and how to replant them. Interested in this one because some rare cactus or succulents are really really expensive. >w< Thinking to get the seeds and grow them instead.
I only got rice Hulls not carbonized ones. I am not suppose to burn them as I live in apartment. Can I still use them? Also can't find the video on fertilizing them in your channel. Can you please share the link.
Pumice is rock-like and its surfaces are rough which is good for roots or plant to anchor on. Sand or small rocks, gravel etc. is good replacement for pumice. Perlite and vermiculite on the other hand are soft, flaky and light (like oatmeal), they don't function as anchor to plants. Sand and compost are the necessities, pumice and perlite/vermiculite are the upgrades.
A better video would actually be what these ingredients actually are. The terminologies are so subjective. I don't find this too helpful. It would be like saying the winning lottery numbers are in the field of numbers you are picking from.

I have a question i can't find Pumice in my area can i replace with Perlita oh vermiculite...thank you
Yes. Perlite is okay.
Pumice is rock-like and its surfaces are rough which is good for roots or plant to anchor on. Sand or small rocks, gravel etc. is good replacement for pumice.

Wow that's good explanation
Superb video 👍 thank you so much 😊
Now I know for good.
Does the charcoal have activated properties?
Or just the bbq charcoal,used?
It's not activated. It's a carbonated rice hulls which is widely used in our area. You can use what is widely used in your area :)
Very informative 😊. I just hope you will link where you can buy the materials.
You can find them on Gardner Center, places that sells things for aquariums, internet, Amazon, Etsy, etc....

Hello...wich one better between pumice or perlite?
they are both great! I would suggest to choose which ever is the cheaper one in your area :)

On garden shops you can find pumice
Also the lava rock you have is pretty small, I can only find big ones . Any recommendations on how to crush it?.
I’m literally crushing them right now with a hammer 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻♀️
Wrap it in wet cloth like a towel and hit it with a hammer!
Don’t breath it in, that’s why the wet towel
Have you try to use rice hull+ lava rock + pumice ?? Is there any way to change pumice with any other aquarium rock ?thanks
I haven't tried yet. Yet you may replace pumice with other aquarium rocks. :)
@@succulentsforbeginners thanks for the tips . I wonder aquarium rock are heavier ??
Hi! Do you know if I can carbonize the rice hulls at home on a big pan on my oven?
I haven't tried that. I dont know if it will work on oven
Would you consider indoor succulents partial sun? Then under a full spectrum grow light full sun?
Yes, that will work too
