Hello beautiful people! I have been watering my succulents (aloe and Thanksgiving cactus) regularly and have noticed the soil is starting to wash away. No roots exposed yet but I was wondering if regular miracle grow potting soil is safe to use to fill it in a little? Thanks in advance 💜

I use their cactus & palm soil myself. But, I mix in perlite.

I usually blend the same as Hamwild for succulents, but for filling in, use something as close to what the plant is already in as possible. The MG is "safe," but I think it will wash out fast if the existing media is gritty.
