Succulents have been popular houseplants for a long time, loved for their low-maintenance nature and their unique and wonderful shapes. They're also incredibly versatile and can be used in so many ways in the home, thriving without much attention. Something you do have to get right to keep them happy, however, is their potting mix.
Caring for succulents is easy, but they do require sufficient drainage to replicate their natural growing environment. I have over 10 different types of succulents in my houseplant collection and have experimented with styling them in different ways. When creating my own succulent centrepiece for a coffee table, I used the best potting soil for houseplants and amended it with materials that would improve aeration. Ever since, the succulents in my arrangement have happily doubled in size.
