Soil/Pot: To ensure the health of succulents, they need porous, well-draining potting soil for succulents to live in. To create an adequate cactus mix, add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Watering: Succulents require little watering but don't like to sit in wet soil. The best way of watering is the soak-and-dry method. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry.
