The Plant Runner - Cacti Potting Mix 7L

Our cacti mix has been created especially for these sun lovers, and is a mix that enhances drainage, increases evaporation and replicates the conditions that these prickly guys love.  Unlike other mixes, this specialty potting mix will allow any excess moisture to drain off after your prickly friends have soaked up what they need. Cacti are the masters of rapid water-absorption - they’ll take in what they need and store excess in their thick stem walls, so we’ve made sure our mix drains off quickly.  This helps minimise fungal disease and root rot. We’ve included a natural slow release fertiliser to help
them settle in faster too.

When potting, use terracotta pots. Terracotta is porus and retains heat more than glazed or plastic pots 

When repotting cacti, don’t water them immediately. Let them adjust to their new pots and give them a drink a couple of weeks later. Repot every 3-4 years when the roots reach the edge of the pot.

Each box contains a ‘how to’ guide for potting up cacti.
