The Potting Mix To GROW LARGER Succulents / My LATEST Recipe

I recently had a new batch of plants that came in and that means repotting again, so this time I decided to finally reveal my potting mix recipe and method to make larger succulents. With this one I find less desiccation on my plants, faster growth and better resilience even in rain or shine locations. Also, I give some ideas on how to identify if your mix is good, what ingredients I avoid using and how you can adjust the mixture depending on your location.
Hope you like it and happy planting!

I have this fantasy that the pumice dust/flour is actually the good stuff and that after separating can be readded to the organic as a rock dust that will give a sort of ballast or proper ph and an affinity to the roots. I'll give it a shoot for some sample subjects.

[@jkvp25]

Indeed this soil mix is really effective cuz I already tried this before. 👍

[@superkikaymom6910]

This alnus is very helpful! Thank you for making this video and for emphasizing how promising it is! It has totally changed my CNS game plan! Thank you for mentioning also that adjustment in watering should be applied, depending on the root stage, pot material, size and amount of organic in the soil.

[@happinessinleaf]

Nice sharing

[@heidilecompte4198]

Thank you for your informative video. I like pumice also but it is expensive as I have to order it online. Your plants look beautiful and healthy.

[@junfredbengil88]

Ang dami na po ng mga succulents nyo po, I just remember your small greenhouse back then sir and now sobrang dami na po nga succulents nyo po. Stay safe and more power to your Channel po.

[@KaleiPlants]

Thank you po! So happy for your support din! 😊💚😊💚

[@honielynmangoba9070]

That soil mixture is very effective in a very hot place like in manila. I also change my potting mix kc namatay ung iba kong succulent b-coz i used more pumice than organic compost. 😆😅🤣 Thanks for sharing. God bless!

[@dewiratnawirawan3482]

Hi, any substitute for alnus compost? Thanks for the wonderful video!

[@JB-vg5cc]

Thanks a lot for the information. I have a question what kind of compost can I use ? I don’t believe I could find this compost that you showed. Thanks 🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏻

[@jenninamariesuarez6361]

Great tips! Sobrang dami ko natutunan. Just what a beginner needs. 😊

[@dr.niluferrahman8524]

I am going to try this mix.can i use permite in place of pumice?

[@Ok-dw4gz]

Watching this informative vlogs now over coffee break😅 ☕️🫖 while WFH its break naman eh😅 thank you Sir to this fine find of video😊 more power

[@tracyphoenix8]

I just bought a cactus & succ potting mix, and it is very sandy. What do you think of this type of potting mix? I was thinking of adding perlite to it. Should I do that? Miracle Gro is a brand name and its cactus & succ mix has a lot of bark. Which mix do you think is better? What was the purpose of the pumice in your mix?

[@rosewhidbee1306]

😊

[@analyngayo6479]

Alnus compose din po ang pnalit ko s DIY n soil mix ko mabilis lng po mabuhay yong mga succulents ko

[@taraberg]

Hi! Great video! You mentioned bottom watering but how often do you water normally (top down watering) to flush out minerals, salt, etc? Like once a month? Or every 3rd watering? Just trying to understand your watering schedule. Thanks!

[@KaleiPlants]

Hello Mam! I rarely do top watering right now, but if your water quality is an issue then you can top water once after 3-4 bottom waterings. 😊

[@naroaochen]

What material is your shade net or polythene..?

[@Ok-dw4gz]

Ganda ng mirinae at mendozae mo sir how old is that po😊

[@rcwaters22ify]

Hello! So helpful. Is there other organic material you can recommend? I’m in the US and having trouble finding this alnus compost

[@rcwaters22ify]

Update: I am using Vermicast worm compost :) TBD how it works out!

[@arindahl]

​@@rcwaters22ifyhow's it going?

[@3509145]

Where do you source your Alnus compost po?

[@edzligs656]

Hi is using used coffee is ok for succulents as a fertilizer and pesticides?

[@KaleiPlants]

Hello! I don't use coffee on my plants as most coffee products have sugar in them, and it attracted ants when I used it before...😅

[@BudsPetalsMuds]

Pwede po ba alnus gamitin dito sa Taguig?

[@SkindoctorMd]

when i use alnus with my cns succulent i was shock that mushrooms growns from it. im not sure i would use it again.

[@KaleiPlants]

Hello! I've also had mushrooms before but they're not an issue for me. You can try adding more pumice and watering less often to discourage mushroom growth, but mushrooms don't really affect the plant directly. What causes rotting is a different type of fungus...

[@cdyanaco]

Im missing the small greenhouse sir mark!...

[@KaleiPlants]

😅😅😅👍

[@maryamgoze5137]

Hello po Sir Mark. What can be a substitute for Allus compost since i am based out of the Phillipines. Thank you po.

[@KaleiPlants]

Pine Bark fines po. Or any quality soilless potting mix na fast draining. Add pumice na lang po or perlite. 😊

[@kalpnapanggeng236]

Iam using my succulent poting mix with sand and kitchen compost it is good for succulents please reply iam new here

[@KaleiPlants]

As long as its fully composted and if it doesn't cause rot then it's ok...

[@kalpnapanggeng236]

Thanks for reply

[@Ok-dw4gz]

Sir may I ask if possible if you can include in your video the age of your succulents by the time they become lush and clumpy thanks 😊

[@KaleiPlants]

Hello po halos 2 years ko din po sila inalagaan... Token size po sila nang dumating. 😊😄

[@Ok-dw4gz]

@@KaleiPlants yikes 🥶 long lasting succulents relationship pala ito. Im like still looking forward for 8 months to go pa pala and yet on the 1st quarter pa lang ive 6 fatalities na😢 any way thank you so much for replying sana Sir meron ka din vlogs na top 10 resilient na succulents for befinners yung medyo mura para ma deds man hindi kami iiyak😂 thanks God bless

[@Ok-dw4gz]

Sir what is the alternate for alnus compost? What is the composition po ba ng alnus compost? Thanks

[@KaleiPlants]

Alnus compost po ay composted na alder tree stems, bark and leaves... Sa highlands po sila nakukuha kaya mabibili niyo po yun sa Shoppee... Pwede po vermicast & carbonized rice hull as alternative pero mas effective po yung Alnus compost para sa kin. 😊👍

[@Ok-dw4gz]

@@KaleiPlants oh i see galing mo naman sir pati yung ingredients ng Alnus alam mo din. Ill take note of this Sir. God bless!😊

[@jaredjacob995]

Ano pong ratio ng pumice, alnus and vermicast nyo sir.. Tia

[@KaleiPlants]

Hello po ang recommended kong starting ratio ay 50/50... Then adjust na lang po kayo kung gusto niyo dagdagan ng pumice depende sa pot/climate niyo po. 😊👍

Hi. Maybe you can use a tripod, your camera is too shaky. I am getting dizzy when watching. Cannot watch properly. Thank you.

I'll try next time! It's because our place is really really windy...
