Be careful with sand. Coarse sand is good, fine sand holds water. Acquarium gravel is good to mix in, or you can get a commercially prepared cactus mix. Copiapoa are really slow growers.

I often put gravel or pot shards at the bottom of a container to aide in drainage.

Sand is to be mixed with soil, sparingly.. Cactus doesnt like wet feet!
Mine grow great for years.. However i did mix it with cactus soil..
Even grew some from seed..It took about 5 years in zone 5..
enjoy.their cute.

Thanks for all the replies.
I'll use a sand/soil mix.
I'll have to break out the camera and take some pics.

Search The Garden Helper:
Gymnocalycium Yellow Graft
Mammillaria Saboae
Copiapoa Dura
What is the best potting mixture to use for these? I was told just to mix up sand with potting soil. Will this work?
