I have a couple of succulents in pots purchased from commercial
nurseries.

I would like to re-pot them into something bigger.

What sort of potting mix should I use? Standard over the counter stuff?


Succulents are the most forgiving of plants even I can grow them and
even make their cutting grow.

I use your basic Bunnings $2 mixture for plants and cuttings - seems
to work OK but like all wood based potting mixes needs changing every
year or so.

I would rather grow them in garbage than give Bunnings $2.

But youre right, they are forgiving. But I'm not....
Over priced and a lot of rubbish... Actually I would be growing them in
rubbish wouldnt I?
