## Description

The most important thing for your cacti and succulents is the soil, the substrate in which they live.The secret is to have a substrate that can store water and release it slowly while being permeable to prevent waterlogging.This is a convenient base mixture which is suitable for many cacti.-The balanced composition of my used and proven base mix includes:Composition of perlite, expanded clay, gravel, seeding soil, fine coconut soil, raw clay, kieselguhr, vermiculite, zoelith,Charcoal.Lava: Vurcan rock for relaxation.Gravel: for loosening up and for stability of the plant.Perlite: to increase the air permeability and better drainage of water to avoid waterlogging.Plant expanded clay: for stabilisation, water and nutrient uptake, low salinity, light mineral component.Sound: for water storage and slow release of moisture.Also a good visible moisture indicator, especially good to see on clear pots.Growing soil: unfertilised, steamed organic content.Fine coconut earth: from the fibres of the coconut shell, airy, loose, does not harden, with anti-mould effect, stores water.Diatomaceous earth: stabilising, biocidal biological effect, regulates ph values.Vermiculite: for loosening, has important trace elements, high nutrient buffering.Charcoal: to prevent infections and diseases.-After transplanting please wait at least one week and then pour.Then small wounds have healed at the roots, so that no rot at the roots forms.Fertilise at the earliest after 3 weeks.

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Unfit for purpose; holds water.
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2018*

This is a very heavy substrate that holds water like nobody's business and is therefore useless for cacti/succulents.
