Hoffman Organic Cactus and Succulent Soil Mix to Provide Proper Drainage and Improve Growth in Cacti

This soil is perfect for my succulents. I have around 20 succulent plants and have enough left over for future plants. Dries well and have seen a nice growth in my plants.

Pros:It's a very rich and untainted soil! Unlike my experience with the succulent Miracle-Gro mix, there's no gnats and yellow mushrooms growing!Cons:It retains moisture a little too well. I plant my succulents in a pot size too large newbie mistake so there's no root to absorb the moisture. I water by submerging the soil in water and wait for the pot to dry. I ended up with moist soil lasting over 2 weeks. I'm sure if there's more root in the soil it would dry up faster. It's definitely a recipe for root rot. The 1 killer of succulents.VerdictBuy. However here's some advice -- I bought the Hoffman's perlite and made a 50-50 mix with this soil for a grittier mix for faster drying time. I also used a smaller terra cotta clay pot so it's about 1" wider than the root ball of my succulent. The clay will absorb moisture too. This allows the plant roots to have air to breathe and avoid root rot.

I previously purchased the smaller bag, but needed more soil to repot my aloe vera plants. My aloe vera plants have done well with the soil, I grew them from they were seeds and they're fine now. I would've needed 2 smaller bags, but found this instead. The smaller bags are 4 quarters each. This bag is 10 quarts and cheaper than the 2 smaller bags combined.

Darling little plants! I repotted in a pot that should always be big enough! Fast delivery!

My Aloe plants love this soil! No mixing, just perfect Cactus and Succulent soil straight from the bag. Worth every penny.

Very pleased with the quality of this soil. Surpasses Miracle Gro Cactus Mix both in composition and drainage. My cuttings do well and grow roots faster than in comparable brands.

My cactus has grown since I transplanted it in this soil!

To have succulents you need Hoffman10410 Organic Cactus & Succulent Soil !! They are worth the special soil !! I love them so much !!

Had to add to my review. I think this is my 5th bag? I have epiphyllum and they are very sensitive to certain soils. This soil is my go to for all my cacti and succulents. I bought a different brand in between and it has practically killed everything I used it for. I love this clean airy soil. And so do my plants. I have found just a few plastic pieces in it, not sure why? But of all the soils I buy... this is my favorite and my plants have already done better since. It closes back up which is nice. It is that thin interlocking type so takes a minute. But still another nice added feature. Some reviews say that it is not good for their plants, but mine have done so much better. I could go to Home Depot and buy a big bag of some other soil and save myself the wait of always getting this, but no other cactus succulent mix I have ever used works as well as this one.
