Growth Technology Ltd MDCAF2 Cactus & Succulent Focus Repotting Mix, 2L

Excellent product, good quality succulent compost. Company were very responsive when the item was misdelivered (which wasn't at all their fault) and sent me a replacement very quickly.

I've had this bearpaw (Cotyledon tomentosa) for about 4 years and I had no idea that it could flower! I repotted this little one around mid July and about a month later, it gave me the pleasant surprise to have flowered! so needless to say that the plant looks completely healthy and happy! I can't wait to have my plant as big and lush as it was (moved houses and I don't think it like it too much tbh)

despite what many reviews say, the bag is small but it is actually 2 liters, as it is stated in the description (and on the packaging). The liters are a measure of the VOLUME, hence the weight of a liter depends on the material that you're measuring. 1lt of water is indeed 1kg, but 1lt of this product has obviously a different weight... after this said, 2 liters are a very small amount of soil indeed, and at this price it's nearly a robbery... I bought it only because I wanted it delivered the day after with Prime, and other similar products would take longer. the product is of good quality though, I was already familiar with this brand/type and I can recommend it. I would suggest to mix it with a bit of some other fast-draining compost which is rich on organic material and less sandy.

Good value for money and plenty of good tips on back of soil pack for looking after your cactuse.

My catus are growing in the soil I bought

Great stuff. My husband's cacti are thriving after re-potting in this specialist mix. In fact, many have flowered for the first time in years. I have also used it for re-planting my Sansevieria (also known as snake plant or mother-in-law's tongue) and despite the fact that it is neither a cactus or a succulent, its growth really seems to have accelerated with new shoots coming up quite soon after re-potting. I guess it is all down to the nutrient content and the fact that it supports good root growth as a result of being free draining. As some of the comments state, this mix does contain fine grit but I have also used glass chips on top of the compost which not only looks decorative but further supports drainage and makes watering less messy. We have already worked our way through three bags of this stuff in my household and I am sure that we will be purchasing it again.

I bought this to re pot my Christmas Cactus. My cactus looks much happier now! I didn't want to lose it as I've had it for 15 years. Good quality cacti compost, easy to use and not too heavy .

I've been using this Cactus potting mix for nine months now and I'm a complete convert. I'm an old gardener with old-fashioned methods and I was frankly suspicious when this item arrived. I have always been used to growing cacti and succulents in, basically, a pot of sand and grit. This mix does contain sand and grit as well as loam and peat (not derived from threatened areas). It is light and loamy in appearance. I soon discovered that you need to water from the top, or if you prefer to soak them be sure to water the top first and don't fill the sink higher than the top of the pot - otherwise, at least at first, the whole lot floats away. In spite of my original concerns, my cacti and succulent collection has been transformed - healthy, sustainable growth and in many cases, flowers have been the result. The mixture does not develop mould or attract pests. I'm using it for plants with a fleshy leaf such as Mother-in-Law's tongue and Winter cactus as well as true succulents. The clear, well-designed pack is opened by simply cutting across the top - quite accessible for those with a visual disability.

Il prodotto è buonissimo,ma insufficiente.Ho rinvasato l'aloe vera in un vaso del diametro di 25 cm. e profondo 24 cm. Unica nota stonata:il corriere,che mi ha consegnato il pacchetto 4 giorni dopo.Nel frattempo ho dovuto comprare un altro sacco di sabbia lavata.

je viens de rempoter mes plantes grasses et vais voir dans quelque temps si elles apprécient et se portent mieux
