Cacti are some of my favorite types of plants to grow inside all year and outside in summer. Unfortunately, the ambient air tends to stay moist during most seasons, a condition that makes cacti unhappy. Cactus potting soil can enhance drainage, increase evaporation, and provide the dry conditions that cacti favor.
This medium promotes optimum health for your cactus and mimics the natural gritty, arid, and low nutrient soils they grow in naturally.
The cacti families are succulents that store moisture in their pads, stems, and trunks to use during dry and drought periods. They are generally found in desert conditions, although a few are tropical to sub-tropical. The plants favor sunny locations with plenty of heat, areas which have little to no rainfall, and harsh soil. The majority of the family will make excellent houseplants due to their minimal needs and forgiving nature. These hardy plants do need water but not on the scale that the average plant requires. They are unique in form and flower with ease of care that borders on neglect. They prefer a cactus growing mix that is partially sand or grit, some soil, and a pinch of peat moss.
