what kind of potting soil should be used for christmas cactus
Garden soil works best in the garden but can be used in potting soil. In the confined environment of a pot, addition of certain amendments is helpful. Compost, peat, or other organic matter is a good addition to garden soil.If the garden soil is quite sandy, organic matter may be all that is required.aving said that, I have seen Christmas cacti growing very well in garden soil used as potting soil. The ideal potting soil will contain a high proportion of organic matter such as peat or well-decomposed compost. Addition of coarse sand, or even aquarium gravel, will provide the necessary drainage and aeration.
