WHY USE ONLY A SPECIAL POTTING MIX FOR CACTI AND SUCCULENTS? 

Cacti and other succulents can store moisture in their own pads, stems and trunks. This allows them to withstand drought and extremely dry environments. Majority of these types of plants make an excellent houseplant because of their minimal requirements for maintenance. Some cacti even produce lovely or coloful flowers.

While maintenance is rarely required for them, their roots can be very sensitive to moisture- too much of it can cause the roots to rot. Therefore, using the right potting mix is important for cacti and succulents. Ordinary potting media either retain too much moisture or dries up too quickly

This potting mix is specifically recommended for Cactus and Succulents. Unlike the regular potting mix, it contains more pumice stones which help retain just enough moisture for the cacti to absorb as they need it. It also drains water faster, thus preventing excess moisture from accumulating at the roots.

Infused with Diatomaceous Earth DE
One of the benefits of diatomaceous earth for insect control is that the insects have no way to build up a resistance to it, which can’t be said for many chemical control insecticides.
