Daisyl, how interesting about the use of a wetting agent. My husband brought home a big bag of Miracle Grow potting soil with a wetting agent added and didn't want to return it, but I was leery about using it. I did add some of that soil to some cactus mix I had for a plant that could be potted with regular soil, and so far it's been okay.
I wondered how a wetting agent would effect succulents or other plants. I have a few Peperomias I replanted into terra cotta pots that seem to need watering much more often than other Peps that are smaller in size. I'm pretty sure they aren't root bound since they were repotted towards the end of the growing season (I know now that that's not the best time to repot) but I was thinking I made the soil too quick-draining.
I'll search through the forum for more discussions on wetting agents, but would like to know more about how you judge the amount to use and what product you found to be best for your needs. Thank you!
