Back to the Roots 100% Organic Succulent & Cacti Mix (6 Quart) | Made in The ...

This is a good seed starting compound. It arrives as a compressed hard block. Just cut the top off the bag and pour in about a gallon and a half of water. It expands to about 3 times its original size. You can user it straight out of the bag or pour it into a container. It works great and retains the moisture needed for the plants. It has the needed nutrients for the plants. My plants are looking great its definitely worth the money.

Liked the coconut coir, earthy smell but I'm cool with that. My seedlings did good in it no bugs in mine, from what I seen in other views. I almost canceled my order because of the reviews I'm glad I didn't. That's why you need to try things out for yourself. The only issue my bag was not sealed good the back was already opened.

My indoor succulents have truly thrived since switching to this. It has a great airy texture that allows for perfect drainage, which is crucial for preventing root rot. You can see the difference in the vibrant color and growth of the plants.

Ummm the dirt is fine I think but this time around the bag was THICKLY COVERED in dead flies it was disturbing! I thought it was caked on dirt but it was not eek! I haven’t opened the bag yet but I hope there isn’t a pest infestation inside…

I used to treat my cacti like regular houseplants which as any plant parent knows, usually ends in a soggy disaster. Switching to this specialized mix was an incredible emotional relief. It provides that specific, arid environment they need to thrive. It’s a high-quality, professional-grade solution that has turned my brown thumb into a green one, making my home feel much more vibrant and alive.

Let me just say this, I am not a big review person. After reading some of the other reviews though, I felt I needed to review this. I’ve had this Euphorbia Trigona (or that’s what it was labeled as) for over 2yrs. It has never grown, it has never put out new leaves, it survived my partners very forgetful plant care techniques. Over the last winter it was just another neglected plant on my already busy schedule of things to get to. It started losing all its leaves. The tops became slightly soft and sponge like to the touch. I had written it off and taken it out of my will. Until about 3 weeks ago when I finally got around to it again. I did a quick search for a potting mix and was determined to fix him. Ordered this mix out of a quick search (I detest miracle gro brand) and it was on its way. The next day I cleaned the pot out, loosened the roots of the two stalks and replanted him back into his pot. The mix was well above the usual quality I see in potting mixes. It had an earthy smell and very light weight. Better than any cactus mix I had seen before. It was easy to mix and settle around the roots. After packing it in, a very good soaking and full 8hrs or drain time… back into a brightly lit dining room area it went. It’s been nearly 2 weeks now and I can not stress how great he looks! New leaves, more growth and it no longer has a soft spot anywhere on it!

This is exactly as advertised. It’s dirt. Dirt particular to growing succulents. I’ve used it on my various cactus plants and they grow beautifully because the dirt was formulated to do that. Please don’t be surprised if you order this and get a bag of dirt, that’s what this is … dirt.

The soil itself appears to be very good quality. It is light and fluffy, and already contains a small amount of perlite, which is a nice bonus. I was happy with the texture and overall condition of the soil. However, when it arrived, the bag had multiple holes in it — almost as if it had been chewed through — and soil had leaked inside the shipping box. In addition, a spray bottle that was packed together with the soil arrived broken. The spray head was damaged, likely due to the weight of the soil during shipping. While this may be an Amazon packaging issue rather than the seller’s fault, the overall delivery condition was disappointing. The product itself seems excellent, but the damaged packaging really needs improvement.
