Planting your succulents in the right soil is key to the plants' health. Factors such as nutrients, anchorage and moisture play important roles in the survival of your succulents. Succulent City explains how to manage each of these in the article Best Soil for Succulents – Succulent Lovers Guide. Happy growing!

When we’re selecting the best soil for succulents, our primary focus is to make sure it has good drainage. That means we’re focused on the ‘moisture’ part of that list above.

Once you’ve figured out how to water your succulents correctly, the second most important thing is getting the best soil for succulents. In fact, without proper soil, it won’t matter if you’re watering the right way or not!
