| I got some Ice plant Delosperma dyeri 'Psdold' for my wife to put in a hanging container. I recall it needs very good drainage, so a regular potting mix may not work. What should I use? Some sort of cactus potting mix?

| I use Cactus potting mix and have had excellent results. You can also add some extra sand and perlite for better drainage. They do very well in containers too. |
