I recently noticed that my succulent has outgrown its little pot, and I want to repot it. A friend gave me some regular potting soil and a larger pot, but I'm wondering if using this soil is a good idea or if I need to get a different kind specifically for succulents. What do you all think?

Regular potting soil usually holds more moisture than succulents can handle, which might lead to root rot. It's better to go for a potting mix specifically for cacti. Those mixes generally have better drainage since they contain materials like sand or perlite. You want something that allows air circulation around the roots. Good luck with your repotting!
So, should I mix that special soil with regular potting soil, or just use it entirely for succulents?
