Soil Sunrise 8qt Succulent Potting Soil Mix, Custom Blend

Highlights

• Fast-Draining Composition: A successful succulent potting mix is formulated to provide rapid drainage to prevent water accumulation. It typically contains a blend of materials like coarse sand, perlite, or pumice to allow excess water to move through the soil quickly.
• Low Organic Matter: Succulents prefer soil with low organic content to prevent water retention. The mix is designed to have minimal organic matter to avoid retaining excessive moisture that could lead to root rot.
• Aeration and Texture: Incorporating materials like perlite or coarse sand creates a well-aerated and loose texture in the mix. This airy environment promotes healthy root growth and prevents compaction.
• pH Balance and Nutrient Levels: The mix often maintains a slightly acidic to neutral pH range, around 6.0 to 6.5, which supports the efficient uptake of nutrients essential for succulent growth while avoiding nutrient overload.
• Sterilized and Pathogen-Free: High-quality mixes are sterilized to eliminate pathogens and pests, ensuring a clean and disease-free environment for the succulent roots, reducing the risk of root diseases and promoting overall plant health.
