An ideal choice is a cactus and succulent potting mix, which typically contains a higher ratio of sand and perlite to enhance drainage. Alternatively, you can combine equal parts potting soil, coarse sand, and perlite to create your own succulent soil.

What is perlite, and how is it used in gardening?

It's a lightweight, airy material that improves drainage and aeration in potting and garden soil. Perlite helps to prevent soil from becoming compacted, which is important for healthy root growth. It's also used as a growing medium for seed starting.
