Cacti & Succulent Mix

What Type of Soil Do Cacti & Succulents Like?

Cacti & Succulents are predominantly found in deserts. High temperature regions with rare but intense rains and rocky soil. These draught resilient plants have adapted to their environment by developing shallow roots that can rapidly absorb water from rare desert downpours.

 

Why Choose Our Premium Cacti & Succulents Mix?

 

Strong Drainage: 

A high percentage of non-porous grit and horticultural sand in this cactus soil mix ensures that excess water drains well through the holes at the bottom of your pot and doesn’t stay in the soil too long. Although these plants don’t like moist soil for long periods of time, make sure to water your plant thoroughly when time comes to mimic the rare pouring rains in the desert.

 

Reduced Moisture retention: 

With lowered amount of coco coir content, which typically retains water, our succulent soil mix is perfectly balanced to avoid oversaturation, letting the roots breath freely.

 

Bioactive Boost: 

By pre-treating coco coir, our base component, we ensure that every nutrient added to the pot is readily available for your plant's absorption. With worm castings rich with beneficial bacteria and fungi, and an added boost of vital soil microorganisms like Bacillus sp., Actinomycetes, Azotobacter and others, your plants gain a strong defense against stress and diseases. We also add Mycorrhizae into the mix – a fungi that creates a symbiotic relationship with your plant's roots, greatly improving water and nutrient uptake. Zeolite's ability to lock in and gradually release nutrients, ensures that your plant has enough nutrients for one month after repotting.
