The listing is for the cactus soil but the sellers will send you a mix so make sure you pay attention. The cactus soil is perfect, I repeat the cactus only soil is perfection.. but the cactus and succulent mix is trash. I’m sending the 3rd bag back, as there’s no way in hell I’m using it.
There’s no way gnats can survive in this cactus soil bc it dries exceptionally well while giving the plants what they need. I just use a fertilizer or worm castings to feed, I don’t do any other amendments.
They grow amazingly well with this medium
I was happy to find that the version of this product that I received DID contain sand or pumice, and had the gritty, well-draining consistency I was seeking, but I notice on the listing and label that regionally formulated iterations may or may not contain sand or pumice, so I guess the mix one receives is dependent upon which processing plant made it (California, Georgia, etc.).
I bought mine from Seller Amazon Services LLC.
The package I received was nice and clean, and appeared to have been stored inside.
I did not see any gnats when I opened my bag, and there was no evidence of mold or algae.
I fear fungus gnats in any soil product that contains "worm castings" or "compost," so I did pour boiling water over my mix prior to use, just in case, even though I did not see any.
As expected, this Cactus Mix drains well, but may be too heavy a soil for some species that prefer a lighter, fluffy mix.
I bought mine when it was on sale (under $10), and thought it was a good value.
