Key Benefits for Your Cacti and Succulents

This specialized substrate offers a multitude of advantages for your prickly and fleshy friends:

• Balanced Nutrition: Enriched with a suitable fertilizer (NPK 11-8-14 +2MgO) and magnesium, it provides essential nutrients for greener, more consistent plants.
• Root Activator: Contains ACTIRREL, a root activator that encourages strong and healthy root development.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for planting and repotting all types of cacti and succulents, and even suitable for rock gardens.

This substrate is a game-changer for anyone looking to elevate their urban gardening game, especially when dealing with delicate species that demand specific soil conditions.

How to Use Your Flower Cactus & Succulent Substrate for Best Results

Using this substrate is straightforward, but a few tips will ensure maximum success:

1. Choose the Right Pot: Always select a pot with drainage holes to complement the substrate's excellent drainage properties.
2. Prepare for Repotting: Carefully remove your plant from its current pot. If it's a spiky cactus, use special gloves or wrap it in paper to protect your hands.
3. Trim Roots (if necessary): Gently remove any dead roots around the root ball.
4. Layer for Drainage: For enhanced drainage, consider adding a base layer of gravel or decorative arlite before adding the substrate.
5. Planting: Place a layer of Flower Cactus & Succulent Substrate, position your plant, and then fill around the root ball, gently compacting the soil to remove air pockets.
6. Watering: Water moderately after planting, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.

For optimal growth, consider pairing this substrate with appropriate indoor and outdoor planters from our extensive collection.
