Ugaoo Cactus and Succulents Potting Soil Mix for Plants - 5 kg

Excellent product and very professional packaging and branding. Will be ordering more of this. Plants are loving it. Ordered my second packet in 2 days 🙏 Probably perlite content could be a little more. Before you use this product, make sure you know a thing or two about succulents. They need very very less water. They're basically desert plants. If you keep them outside make sure they're covered with a transparent plastic sheet. Not too much strong sunlight. Best place is on the inside of a window sill which gets sunlight half a day.

It is a very good mix, well draining but retain some amount of water. But it should be mentioned here this is not a proper sacculant mix. Very less amount of perlite, no coarse sand, only coco peat and some clay. It's very good as an all purpose potting soil but not as a sacculant/ cactus mix. Even Ugaoo probably know that, I bought sacculant from them and that was in a complete different medium.

This one is probably one of the best succulent potting mix. I'll tell you why. (1) Succulents are slow growers, they don't need nutrients like normal plants do. This soil mix probably has NONE. I tried this mix with normal plants and they had stunted growth. So I think this fits well for the succulents. If you need to feed them, just add a diluted fertilizer in the growing season. (2) In Indian winters (when succulents grow best), the soil can be wet for maximum of 4 days before there is a risk of rot. And succulents are prone to rot. With this soil mix, the top soil dries out the next day and the bottom levels takes another 2 or 3 days to completely dry up, given normal Sunlight is provided throughout the day. You can then wait for signs of dehydration on the plant, and then water again heavily. Within this time period, the soil is basically bone dry, so you can drown the plant comfortably and wait for it to dry up and continue the cycle. If you're worried, you can ammend it with perlite or pumice (better), but it does just fine on its own. Perfect amount of water retention and drying. (3) Doesn't clump like normal soil. Organic content is very very less, so it doesn't turn into mud when watered, hence doesn't become compact over time, so no fear or water retention. (4) Very light. Good for roots to breathe.

This soil seems too Porus and not the right mix. Few of my succulents died because the soil feels too dry and hence overwatering happens. Realised it but then already two succulents got root rot. Not at all good for propagation so don’t even bother. Not good for succulents that need more moisture like jade. Check the other brand with thousands of good reviews and I will switch back to them once it’s time for repotting.
