From what I've seen, most people here us a mix of cactus soil and a gritty mix or rocks I use this gritty mix
As for watering, let the soil dry completely before watering
Growing medium is something everyone has their own opinions on. Take mine with a grain of salt.
I personally grow with 0% organic soil. I ended up buying some premium cactus medium that is comprised of:
Then I mixed in some sterile cactus sand to give the roots something to bind to.
With an inorganic medium, it's much harder (almost impossible) to rot your yote.
This is the stuff I bought (no referral link) but I'm sure you can make it yourself with similar, local ingredients for cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073Z5JFSZ/

I did the same thing to. There is very little information on how to care for a stephania erecta but here is a video on an elephant foot vine care which applies to S.E. since they are both caudexes.
I got lucky, mine arrived a little sprouted and it's been growing daily since! I have it in a terra cotta pot in a succulent and cactus soil mix which is a very gritty mix. I water mine once a week and mist it everyday. It hasn't rooted on the bottom yet but it is sprouting on top. Hoping it roots soon!
I have it just in some boring old planter soil. Should i order this substrate you speak of? like [this?] (https://www.amazon.com/Pre-Mixed-Succulent-Cactus-Soil-Draining/dp/B073Z5JFSZ/ref=sr_1_2?crid=PG4A3G66DU3U&keywords=succulent+substrate&qid=1550728910&s=gateway&sprefix=succulent+sub%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-2)
yeah that's all about what i expected. thank you for the tips! I've read as many articles as my panic-induced state could find so i think i have a small idea of what I'm doing.
this is the mix i bought because it was about all i needed and what i could afford. it occurs to me i did not even check if this would be a good choice for my specific plant, because i was panicking and knew I'd need new soil asap. is this even a good choice? im nervously skeptical. if not it's whatever, but i might have a difficult time finding what i need in my area. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073Z5JFSZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_zguyCbWN5JV0C
It does have a drain hole! I actually repotted it this morning and it has this for most of the pot but a thin layer of soil towards the top from the last pot - would it be best for me to shake that out of it as best I can? I was more afraid to damage the tiny roots in doing that as I've grown a bit attached to it.
It's currently at my desk at work which explains the not enough light so I'll bring it home tomorrow and stick it on the windowsill.
