What Makes Harris Succulent and Cactus Potting Soil Unique?

Although potting soil might not seem like the most interesting topic, it has a big impact on the health of your plants. Plants cultivated in containers have different demands from those of plants grown in the ground, hence potting soils were created for them.


Not all potting soils are made equal,  succulents and cacti need a specific type of soil, much. In order to meet such criteria, various potting mixes were created. By being aware of the ingredients in your potting soil, you can provide your plants with the nutrients they require to thrive.


Harris Succulent & Cactus Potting Soil is unlike any other potting mix out there! This specialized blend was formulated specifically for succulents & cacti by combining ingredients like decomposed granite, perlite, earthworm castings, and pumice which helps create an ideal environment for the optimal growth of these types of plants. Additionally, its pH level has been adjusted to create an environment perfect for preventing nutrient deficiencies & promoting healthier root development & overall growth potential in both succulents & cacti!


The combination ensures efficient drainage and aeration, preventing overwatering & root rot while providing the essential nutrients these plants need. Harris is eco-friendly and sustainable ingredients that can help reduce our environmental footprint. Chemical agents used in other fertilizers can cause pollution whereas Harris relies on compounds like worm castings, kelp meal, and fish bone meal instead. Proper draining encourages healthy plant growth, while stable pots provide extra support.

Composition

The majority of houseplants like good, and loamy soil. Material includes things like peat moss, coconut coir, and shredded bark that were once alive. In addition to providing nutrients when it breaks down, this is helpful because it maintains moisture extremely well.

Loam is therefore a particularly poor candidate for cacti and succulents. Since they are susceptible to root rot, succulents don't like to dwell in moist circumstances for extended periods of time.


Cacti and succulent soil requirements differ greatly from other potted plants. Our soil is mostly made up of inorganic substances like perlite, pumice, grit, gravel, and/or sand because succulents and cacti are not as dependent on organic matter as most other plants are.

A lot of fertilizers use dangerous chemical agents that are detrimental to your soil and water. These chemical compounds can cause imbalances in the ecosystem through leaching, runoff, and erosion, ultimately leading to pollution in the environment. Harris utilizes compounds like worm castings, kelp meal, and fish bone meal instead, all of which add valuable macro- and micronutrients straight from nature and pose no threat to your soil or water source. Additionally, it helps break up compacted soils, creating better aeration for roots, and tanks of water also supply beneficial microorganisms that stimulate root growth, naturally improving fertility for healthier plants. So if you're tired of having to reach for chemical products to help preserve your garden's beauty without endangering the environment, Harris Succulent & Cactus Potting Mix Eco-Friendly can be both a safe and sustainable choice.

Drainage

Proper draining encourages plant growth by preventing root rot while keeping the soil damp enough and providing air circulation—this is especially important if you live in a humid climate!
