I have an 'easter cactus' that is still in the same tiny pot i bought it in.I have decided to dodge rain showers to get the plants re-potted that should have already been done in the spring.Our temp hasn't gotten higher than the mid-high 80's so far so i think it will be ok.
My question I have another one & know they don't like to completely dry out between watering,at least that's what i've found.But i'm not sure what soil to pot it in? The one i already have is in a terra cotta pot,that was a mistake.Between the pot soaking water out of the soil & the fast draining soil it's hard to keep it healthy in the winter.I was potting succulents with a fast draining soil with bark,rock & succulent soil.Should i leave the rock out of the mix for the 'easter cactus' or use regular MG potting soil??
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
