THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL!

Cactus Gritty Mix is the mix that started it all! This puts a more eco-friendly spin on the traditional gritty cactus soil by utilizing coconut chips and coir, an otherwise wasted byproduct of the coconut industry. Great for any desert dwelling plant, including many species of Euphorbia. Of the 50 million coconuts produced around the world each year, about 85% of the husks are discarded as trash. As a soil component, the ground husks offer excellent aeration and moisture retention properties while still providing a fast-draining medium. Cactus Gritty Mix is the perfect choice for a wide variety of cacti and other hardy, dry-weather plants.

What’s in it?

• Organic: coconut husk chips, recycled forest products
• Mineral: pumice, calcined clay, granite, expanded clay
