drtreelove Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I don't know the area, but did you try Big C, garden section, or look for a HomePro. Sometimes there are plant sales outlets outside these super stores in the driveway/parking areas. You may not find a specific cactus mix, but a general purpose potting soil may be okay for an Aloe plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drtreelove Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Can you not just take a bucket or plastic bag and a trowel out to a park or vacant lot and scavenge some soil? Or look for potting soil online through Lazada. I'm not an Aloe expert, and if you are a collector and know that you have species that require a certain soil medium, then you are out of my league. But my limited knowledge of the genera, is that most of the 400 + species are native to arid climates and dry soils with minimal organic matter content. So if you have Aloe vera or another common species, they may not require a rich potting soil. Be careful not to over-water what might be a desert plant that needs mimimal watering. Could that be why your plants are not doing so well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
