Question
I am having a hard time finding cactus soil can I use anything else?
Dear Leah,
If you mix potting soil and sand (2/3's potting soil to 1/3 sand), that will work as well. Anything that will drain water quickly will work. If you have a Walmart near by, they usually carry a "cactus mix" type of soil. Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Greg
