Spined Succulent & Cactus Potting Soil Mix – Custom Mineral Blend

Give your spined succulents and cacti a porous growing medium designed for drainage and airflow around the roots. This custom-blended potting mix combines natural Cascade Mountain volcanic lava, volcanic pumice, and peat-based growing media.

The blend is relatively lightweight, porous, and neutral pH, making it a practical choice for spined succulents and spined cactus collections.
