I'm confused about what I should be doing for my succulents. I used Miracle Grow cactus for a long time with success. But I wanted to try something different and put together Al's gritty mix. Gritty mix assumes you're going to be vigilant with fertilizing and watering very frequently. I'm not that type of person. Because of that, I think my plants aren't doing as well as they could. Gritty mix is pine bark, crushed granite, and calcined clay. If I mix that with coco coir and worm castings, do you think that would work?
