planting soil for cactus Cactus and Succulent Soil Mix: The Ultimate Pro Mix Formula 12 QuartsGrowing a healthy cactus and succulents has always been a bit of a challenge. These desert loving plants thrive in well drained soil that mimics their natural habitat, where water quickly seeps through sandy, porous ground. Poorly drained soil can lead to water retention, root rot, and other problems that stunt growth. That's why, after many years of experience, we have developed a soil mix that is ideal for growing strong and healthy cacti.

Growing a healthy cactus and succulents has always been a bit of a challenge. These desert-loving plants thrive in well-drained soil that mimics their natural habitat, where water quickly seeps through sandy, porous ground. Poorly drained soil can lead to water retention, root rot, and other problems that stunt growth. That's why, after many years of experience, we have developed a soil mix that is ideal for growing strong and healthy cacti.

Introducing Our Pro Mix Formula

Our premium soil mix is the result of years of experience and research in plant care. It combines an organic substrate enriched with mycorrhizae, which supports robust root system development, with carefully balanced inorganic media to ensure superior drainage and ventilation. This thoughtful blend promotes healthy growth, reduces water-related issues, and mimics the natural arid environments these plants love.

Benefits of Our Cactus and Succulent Soil Mix


  • Optimal Drainage: Designed to dry out faster than general-purpose, peat-based mixes, preventing overwatering and water retention.
  • Ventilation for Roots: The inorganic components create air pockets, ensuring roots receive adequate oxygen for healthier growth.
  • Prevents Common Problems: Reduces the risk of root rot, algae, and fungus gnats by maintaining proper moisture levels.
  • Adaptable to Conditions: Performs well in low-light environments and high-humidity conditions, making it versatile for various growing settings.
  • Improved Nutrient Uptake: Helps leach excess fertilizer salts during watering, ensuring a balanced nutrient supply.

Why We Use Mycorrhizae and Why It Matters

Our mix is enriched with mycorrhizae endomycorrhizal fungi (Glomus intraradices), which form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots. This addition enhances nutrient absorption, improves overall plant health, and boosts flower or fruit yields.

We Only Use Premium Ingredients

Our soil mix is made with 5 high-quality ingredients to ensure the best results:

  1. Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss: Provides structure and organic matter.
  2. Perlite (Horticultural Grade): Enhances aeration and drainage.
  3. Dolomitic and Calcitic Limestone: Balances pH for optimal growth.
  4. Wetting Agent: Ensures even water distribution.
  5. Mycorrhizae Endomycorrhizal Fungi: Supports strong root development.

Final Thoughts

Whether you're nurturing a sprawling cactus, a delicate succulent, or an entire collection, our soil mix is designed to help your plants flourish. Its quick-drying properties make it ideal for desert plants that prefer dry conditions, reducing the risks of overwatering while providing the nutrients they need to thrive. Give your cacti and succulents the perfect foundation for growth with our Cactus and Succulent Soil Mix. Ensure well-drained soil, healthier plants, and a vibrant collection that thrives year-round!

BEST? (the "R" is for relative)
I have, to date, tried four different Retinol serums (usually containing hyaluronic acid). Each of these has been in a similar price range and none of them qualifies as high-end pricing. From what I can tell each of them is as effective as the other and none of them produces "miracle elixir" results. Like most maintenance products they are only truly effective through consistent long-term use. Seeing that I have found each of the brands I have tried to be equally effective I believe it is fair to say that this brand of Retinol serum is acceptable. However, this 1 oz. bottle is one of the higher priced brands I have tried and the bottle was almost half empty when I received it. It is also perfumed and thicker than other versions and therefore harder to measure effectively (one drop is almost sufficient but two drops is too much). When you reach the bottom of the bottle, like with most of the other brands I have tried, it is impossible to get the last quarter inch of product out of the bottle using the dropper. The syringe is not long enough or flexible enough. What I have been doing is either adding a few drops of water or a few drops of Vitamin C serum to liquefy the balance so it can be shaken out onto your finger. Although use of water will obviously dilute the serum it at least allows you to use all of the product, which is a compromise I am willing to make. As recommended by most Retinol serum brands, and vice versa, I have been applying Vitamin C serum after using it. However I am not convinced that use of both products is really necessary, i.e., Retinol serum combined with a Vitamin C serum. The only sources I see strongly promoting the advantage of using both are the sources that are selling both. As someone commented in response to my initial post (which I have modified since I wish to be accurate), Retinol is not hyaluronic acid. However many Retinol products contain hyaluronic acid which is what caused my confusion. "Skin care products with hyaluronic acid are most frequently used to treat wrinkled skin although they don't replace anything the body has naturally lost. These are very effective moisturizers." Retinol is made from vitamin A, and it's in many non-prescription skin care products. Retinol's stronger counterpart is tretinoin, which is the active ingredient in Retin-A and Renova, available by prescription only. If your skin is too sensitive to use Retin-A, Retinol is an alternative, although the effects are less impressive. Retinol may improve mottled pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, and skin tone and color." (Both quotes excerpted from WebMD.) "Retinol is photosensitive and should only be worn at night. Never go outside or into the sunlight with it on; this could cause adverse effects." (Huffington Post quote) (Using a sunscreen is strongly recommended by many sources because retinoid products cause increased photosensitivity.) Having researched this a bit more I feel certain that I can stop using Retinol serums altogether since my dermatologist prescribes a stronger product for evening use. I will ask him about this the next time I see him, though. He already advocates use of a Vitamin C serum but has never commented on the benefits of using it in combination with a Retinol product. However, since Retinol is photosensitive I believe eliminating it would be okay and probably to my benefit since sunscreens wear off after a while and need to be reapplied. If he advises on this subject in any way I believe might be helpful to others I will add it to my post.

YOU CANT ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, BUT THIS PRODUCT DEFINITELY DELIVERS. GLAD I PURCHASED IT.
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using a $49 bottle of retinol serum and found this to be just as effective and at a much lower cost. I could tell a difference in my skin in approximately 4-5 days. I can't smell any scents or fragrances and that's a plus for me. I thought it would stay greasy on my face, but it dried within 1-2 minutes. I'll definitely order again.

The Safe Sunscreen You've Been Searching For!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
5/5, 10/10, search no longer for the perfect sunscreen, you have found it! If you know someone fair skinned who will burn in the sun while swimming, this sunscreen keeps you covered. If you are at the waterpark, just reapply as noted on the tube. This sunscreen smells amazing and keeps you from burning. The lotion isn't too thick or watery, it is just the right consistency. You will not be disappointed with this sunscreen and bonus, it is reef safe so it is environmentally friendly. I have been buying this sunscreen for years and years and will buy it again this summer!
