Here are 5 best way to fertilize your succulents
1 Using the professional succulent soil.
Succulents do best with soil that is normally considered poor for other houseplants. Good succulent soil allows for easy root growth by allowing for fast air and water exchange. Succulent soil mix is usually rich in inorganic elements, and some organic matter. Most succulent mixes contain about 25-50% organic matter, combined with inorganic materials.
