What kind of soil are you using for this? It looks good.

I use pine bark, red lava rock and perlite and top soil is lava rock. Thank you i wasn't expecting the bloom today 🌼 @SpicyCactus

That's it, that's the whole formula?

For this one yes, i also water it from the bottom for 2/3 minutes only and I use a drop or two of fertilizer in almost all my waterings because pine bark decompose very slowly and there's not a lot of nutrients in the mix. @SpicyCactus

What type of fertilizer do you use? I ask because your succulents are always so pretty. Do you adjust the soil formula depending on what you're growing?

That's very nice of you but not all my plants look this good! The fertilizer I use is from compo brand for cactus, it is very cheap where I live but I don't know if it is available everywhere, but any cactus fertilizer would work. And yes I do change the mix. I use a little bit of coir on my echeveries and some crassulas to keep them more hydrated. I have the habit to let my plants go really thirsty before I water them which helps them look a bit more 'intense' 😅 @SpicyCactus
