Find Right Size Pot for Cactus/Succulent When its time to repot a cactus, look for a container thats about 2 inches (5 cm) larger than the one the cactus is currently in. If the container is too large, the soil will stay wet longer than desirable for a cactus/Succulent, which likes heat and dry elements that are normal in the desert where it grows wild. Make the potting mix - Contents: Sand (50%), and anyone of the following in 50 % amount Perlite/Vermiculite / Cocopeat (50%). Place a small amount of cactus soil in the bottom of the new container. Carefully set the cactus in the new container. If the bottom of the Cactus/Succulent is not level with the rim of the pot, remove it and add a little more soil.
