What’s is your soul mixture for these accents?

 

[RJG2]

Just a personal goal to see how long I can keep this little dandelion alive in a tiny pot

Still alive! With tinier leaves that have turned red under my indoor grow lights.

What's your soil mixture for these?

I need to dust the top of this with some white sand. I believe Sorce sent me this pot.

80% pumice and 20% coconut husk. There is a little bit of field soil attached to the moss, but it doesn't seem to impact drainage.

I use silica sand (sometimes labeled as pool filter sand) because it's inert and won't impact the pH of the soil like a limestone sand will. Use a mask when handling it though because silicosis is no good. Usually you can find it at the hardware store.

I use pumice, lava rock, and grit for succulent/cacti soil. I'll put a little bit of sifted fir bark in too depending on what I'm potting up.
