HOW TO USE

 

In pots:

 

Use Cacti & Succulent Mix straight from the bag when potting or repotting cacti and succulents - don't mix it with other materials. Close the bag tightly after use

Choose a clean pot* with large drainage holes and fill one-third of it with drainage material like coarse washed river sand or gravel

Cover with a layer of mix

Place the plant in the pot, adding more of the mix around the root ball (use kitchen tongs to handle prickly plants)

Add more mix to about 2cm below the rim of the pot

Tap the pot or container gently on the bench to help the new mix settle in and around the roots. Firm lightly

Top dress the top with coarse washed river sand or gravel to prevent 'caking' of the surface of the potting mix and to ensure that the area close to the base of plant remains dry

Allow to settle for 2-3 days, then water in

*When repotting cacti & succulents, choose a new pot only one size larger than the original. Follow the instructions above, carefully discarding any surface dressing from the plant before removing it from the old pot and placing into the new one

 

 

 

In the garden:

 

Cacti and succulents require a gravelly soil to thrive - create this environment by mounding up Cacti & Succulent Mix above the normal soil level and plant into the top of the mound

Elongated mounds can be built for massed plantings along borders or in garden beds

 

 

WHEN TO USE:

 

Cacti and succulents are best potted or planted into the garden in Spring and Autumn - never when temperatures are extreme.

 

 

NOT SUITABLE FOR

 

Don't use in hydroponic growing systems

Don't use on lawns - use only specifically named lawn top dress soils on grassed areas SAFETY INFORMATION

 

CAUTION: This product may cause staining of hard surfaces if wet. Avoid contact with hard surfaces and if contact does occur, sweep off immediately

 

When using potting mixes, we recommend the use of garden gloves to protect your hands
