Cactus soil for container grown plants is much the same as bonsai soil.
Tools I would have you use (be they made or bought)
one each 1/4 inch hardware cloth sifter, 1/8 inch hardware cloth sifter, 1/16 inch hardware cloth sifter. Pre made ones are often stackable
What ever will not pass through the 1/4 in screen is too big. what ever does pass through the 1/16 inch screen is too small.
Mix one part each sifted coarse sand or decomposed granite, with one part siften bark mulch fines, 1/8 part sifted crushed oyster shell.
You will need to supliment this with the liquid fertilizer of your choice at least twice a month spring summer and fall.
I watered mine on a five day schedule. I took a block of wood and numbered it: 5. 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 for the next day it was due for water...
