Cactus Focus 2 Litre Repotting Mix & 300ml Feed

One of my cacti was in need of a repot and the rest needed feeding so I went ahead and got the dual compost-feed mix. The soil is fairly expensive for what it is (and you can probably make your own by looking up various ratios and mixtures online) but I’m pretty short in space and time so prepackaged was ideal. The soil is well draining and ideal for cacti and succulents which hate staying wet. I also plan to use the soil as a medium to try growing some cacti and succulents from seed so will update when my cactus has settled in (hopefully - it’s not dead yet at least) and these have (again hopefully) germinated.The fertiliser is easy to mix and administer. It does suggest what is, to my mind, quite a large amount of water to be used especially for a cactus so I’m going to be making up a smaller amount but still use the ratio they suggest. I’ve given it to one of my cacti already and it seems to be happy and I’ll report back in how they’re doing once I’ve had a bit more time to use this. The bottles an ideal size and easily fits in my cupboard.All in all I would recommend this to anyone with a few small cacti or succulents that need repotting and a bit of food. the food seems like it will last for a good while tooIf you found this review useful please let me know by hitting the “helpful” button below :)

A light repotting mix, which drains well to keep roots from sitting in the wet ( which cactuses hate). The bag is small-only 2 litres and so is expensive for the price asked,but I wasn’t sure about what to use and didn’t want to risk my plants so bought this....I have since found good advice on the type of mix to use, 1 part pumice, 1 part compost - no2 john innes, 1 part coir compost.Also after repotting my cactus expert recommends not watering for two weeks to allow the plant to acclimatise.The liquid cactus food is easy to mix, with a little going a long way so should last, one of my succulents has had a feed and really taken off, so I can only conclude that it has been successful...my other cactuses are too slow growing to see results yet- but hey, they’re not dead!

I have few cactus which seems to be about the same size for couple of years. But I only water them once a month or so.With the feed, I have water them every two weeks and add the feed every month. In few months, the cactus has grown. So it could be working or just because it had more water.

Repotting, sometime in the next 2 to 3 weeks

I only put 4 stars because the liquid leaked a bit, but it was great overall and did it’s job

Used to propagate my succulent leafs and the roots have came on quickly using this mix. Very happy

This is the only brand of soil and feeder I use for my succulent plants and cacti’s, works really well. Delivery was quicker than expected

Just what I needed and it also came before delivery date.
