I have too much stuff lol. I went semi-hydro for a bit so I have leca, bonsai mix, and zeolite (zeolite was a bag of ecotraction). I also bought some silica sand (i think it was a bag of pool filter? it was cheaper) to mix into soil to make carnivorous plant medium.
These days I mostly just use potting soil, cactus soil, perlite, and orchid bark. I prefer pumice over perlite since it doesn't rise to the top when you water, but perlite is cheaper. I keep a bag of sphagnum moss for growing alocasia corms, though I've also used leca for that and it works well too.
I grew a bunch of succulents and a caudex plant from seeds in cactus soil, they did well (I also had fungus gnats at the time so I lost some to those).
my caudex plants now mostly live in a 1:1:1 mix of cactus soil (or regular soil if I've forgotten that I use cactus soil for them), perlite, and orchid bark. They're all pretty happy.
