@loribmt and @rosemarya Yes, you can get sterilized potting soil, then to keep stuff from growing on it and getting in the air, top it with a generous layer of aquarium gravel.
As for succulents, you can pot them in cactus mix, which looks like gravel and is far less likely to be contaminated. And they want to be in a very bright window and kept quite dry.

@sueinmn, @loribmt, @artist01, et al.....
great suggestions. I don't have any houseplants now except my few orchids growing in a bit of bark. And, require repotting once a year or so, no soil, just bark w/a touch of orchid medium, and 1 tablespoon or water per week in each. Lots of love, little care, and no soil. I'm getting some hens and chicks and a couple of other succulents just for joy and you never know what they will surprise you with to make you smile and feel good.....like your lovely flower...'
nighty night all.
