2)Fill the pot 3/5 full with potting soil. To estimate the soil amount, fill the pot until it reaches a little over halfway. Use a palm or cactus mix, which usually includes a good mix of soil, sand, vermiculite, perlite, and peat moss to regulate the soil’s moisture and drainage.
Don’t pack the soil down. It will need to be loose for proper drainage.You could also add vermiculite or sand to normal potting soil in a 1:4 or 1:3 ratio.
