Hi there,

I found out what my plant is called thanks to David, it's a crassula ovata
aka money tree). Now I have more info on it I would like to go ahead and
repot it!

From the websites I went on to see how to repot I read that I need to "
(use) a sandy, well-drained potting mix. If a commercial potting soil is
used, add one part perlite or coarse sand to two part the soil mix".

Can I buy that kind of pre-mixed soil from a garden centre? Or do I buy any
compost and some sand and mix it together??

any advice is much appreciated,
many thanks,

A commercial mix suitable for cacti should be OK, usually available in
garden centres. Failing that, buy small bags of the ingredients as
specified and mix your own. Get perlite or gritty sand, not fine or
builder's sand.
