Nurture your desert plants with premium drainage and root support

With a balance of sharp drainage, ideal moisture retention, and added biochar for root health, this 100% organic blend promotes strong, resilient growth in even the most finicky desert flora.

Whether you're potting up a jade plant, echeveria, or a bonsai, this mix supports long-term vitality while reducing the risk of overwatering and root rot.


Key Benefits

  • Purpose-Built for Cacti & Succulents
    Engineered to mimic arid, well-drained soil conditions needed by desert plants.
  • Exceptional Drainage
    Prevents waterlogging and reduces fungal root issues common with heavy soils.
  • Moisture Balanced
    Retains just enough water to hydrate roots without oversaturation.
  • Biochar Enriched
    Improves nutrient retention and boosts beneficial soil biology in the root zone.
  • Versatile Use
    Great for cacti, succulents, bonsai trees, jade plants, and any species requiring sharp drainage.

Why Biochar Matters

Biochar is a carbon-rich soil amendment that enhances fertility and microbial life. In this blend, it supports a healthy root environment by increasing nutrient and water holding capacity while improving airflow in the soil.


Usage Tips

For best results:

  • Use terracotta or breathable fiber containers for added airflow
  • Avoid compacting the soil—allow for loose, airy structure
  • Water thoroughly, then let the soil dry completely before rewatering
