soil type for repotting

I am going to repot a very sick poinsettia what sort of soil type do I use?


Doug says a general artificial potting soil such as Pro-mix works well. That's what commercial growers mostly use. Regular garden soil will collapse in the pot and turn to concrete so avoid real soil.

But generally, when a poinsettia is "sick" it is dying. This silly plant has two health states - growing well and dead.

Good luck with it though.
