actus Gritty Mix is the mix that started it all! This puts a more eco-friendly spin on the traditional gritty cactus soil by utilizing coconut chips and coir, an otherwise wasted byproduct of the coconut industry. As a soil component, the ground husks offer excellent aeration and moisture retention properties while still providing a fast-draining medium. Great for any desert dwelling plant, including many species of Euphorbia.
- Our cactus potting soil mix is made with pumice, granite, coconut coir, and calcined clay to improve aeration, drain excess water, and help prevent root rot, keeping arid and sensitive plants healthy
- Ideal for Agave, Golden or Blue Barrel Cacti, Cereus, Echinopsis, Mammillaria, Prickly Pear Opuntia, euphorbia & more; not for Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera) which needs more moisture (Houseplant Chunky Mix)
- Of the 50 million coconuts produced each year, 85% of coco husk is discarded as waste; repurposing it as a soil component enhances aeration, retains moisture, and helps reduce environmental waste
- Unlike peat-based mixes that deplete fragile bog ecosystems, this blend uses coco chips for plants to thrive sustainably; a smart choice for healthy growth while preserving natural resources
- In partnership with the global non-profits, we donate a portion of every cactus potting mix sold to help restore the world's most deforested areas, supporting reforestation and a healthier planet
