Key Ingredients of Cactus & Succulents Potting Mixture

1. River Sand: Sourced from natural riverbeds, our coarse river sand mimics the gritty, well-draining soils found in cactus and succulent habitats. Its mineral composition promotes excellent drainage and aeration, preventing waterlogging and root rot in these drought-tolerant plants.
2. Cocopeat: Derived from coconut husks, cocopeat adds a touch of moisture retention to our potting mixture, ensuring that succulents and cacti receive adequate hydration without the risk of waterlogged roots. Its fibrous structure promotes root growth and provides stability for delicate root systems.
3. Compost: Our compost enriches the potting mixture with organic matter and essential nutrients, enhancing soil fertility and promoting healthy plant growth. Compost acts as a natural fertiliser, providing a steady supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to support succulent and cactus development.
4. Perlite: Perlite, a volcanic rock mineral, contributes to the potting mixture’s lightweight and porous texture, improving drainage and preventing soil compaction. Its presence ensures that excess moisture drains away quickly, reducing the risk of root rot and fungal diseases common in cacti and succulents.
