www.highcountrygardens.com Cacti and succulents are not difficult to grow if you keep their basic requirements in mind. First and foremost, cacti require excellent drainage. Secondly, they like alkaline, mineral soils.The adaptability of cacti and succulents to heat, intense sunshine and their ability to thrive with little water or maintenance under dry conditions make them an excellent choice for xeric gardens. Agave, yucca, delosperma (ice plants), Kniphofia, and sedum are a few of the High Country Gardens favorites for planting in a xeriscape garden.

im glad i watched this before i got started.
Very good tips in this video!
Why shouldn’t you just take the succulent or cactus out of the pot and put it directly into your new soil mixture, without cleaning off the roots? If f it’s healthy in the pot, why won’t it continue to be healthy when it’s in the ground surrounded by new soil?
