Spined Succulent & Cactus Potting Soil Mix

Custom Blend for Proper Drainage | Natural Lava and Pumice

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 mineral components create a porous mix that supports drainage while helping retain some moisture around plant roots.

Custom Soil Mix Composition

Our blend contains three carefully 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 pumice. Its tiny gaps and air pockets help provide space for air, water, and nutrients around roots.

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