Your soil must have a sandy texture and a low water-holding capacity, just like desert soil.  Soggy wet soil can damage your tree aeonium and contributes to bacterial and fungal rot. In addition, because of a lack of oxygen, soggy soil substitutes air pockets with water, resulting in an anaerobic environment that can kill your healthy plants.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props=\"{'201341983':0,'335559739':160,'335559740':259}\" bis_size=\"{'x':354,'y':1151,'w':3,'h':18,'abs_x':649,'abs_y':1336}\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size=\"{'x':12,'y':1187,'w':548,'h':97,'abs_x':307,'abs_y':1372}\"\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\" bis_size=\"{'x':12,'y':1187,'w':537,'h':57,'abs_x':307,'abs_y':1372}\"\u003e As an alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, peat moss, and good natural potting soil.
