5-Quart Spined Succulent & Cactus Potting Soil Mix

Custom Volcanic Lava and Pumice Blend | Proper Drainage

Give your spined succulents and cacti a growing medium designed with drainage and root-zone airflow in mind. This custom-blended potting mix combines natural Cascade Mountain volcanic lava, porous volcanic pumice, and peat-based growing media.

The 5-quart package is a practical quantity for repotting projects, several smaller containers, or adding specialty mix to your growing collection.

Custom Soil Mix Composition

Our blend contains three measured components:

• 35% Natural Volcanic Lava: 1/4 inch minus Cascade Mountain volcanic lava, with a pleasing mix of red, gray, black, and white particles.

• 47% Natural Volcanic Pumice: 1/4 inch to 1/32 inch. Its tiny gaps and air pockets help provide space for air, water, and nutrients around roots. Pumice contributes to both moisture retention and drainage.

• 18% Peat-Based Growing Media: General-purpose growing medium that complements the mineral components.
