Yes, cactus soil can be used for other plants. … Cactus soil is already well-draining and provides great aeration, so it acts a good foundation for all potting mixes. I like to use cactus soil as the base of the potting mix.
Hereof, what is the difference between succulent soil and normal soil?
Traditional potting soils are made to hold water, but a succulent holds moisture in its leaves. In fact, too much moisture in the soil and the cactus or succulent will develop root rot.
When mixing flowers and succulents in containers, mix 2 parts potting soil with 1 part pumice or perlite and 1 part horticulture-grade sand to improve drainage. For year-round flowering, combine spring- and summer-blooming flowers with winter-flowering succulents.
Likewise, can I use the same soil for all my plants?
It’s generally fine to reuse potting soil if whatever you were growing in it was healthy. If you did notice pests or diseases on your plants, it’s best to sterilize the mix to avoid infecting next year’s plants.
