Good Results with Succulents

Customers left positive reports about how this soil did with succulents.  Here is one of those comments, “I knew nothing about Growing Aloe Plants. I knew how to care for ones that were all grown up and self-sufficient, but I grew plants from seedlings and was nervous about what they needed. This soil was the first soil they moved into, out of their little “nursery”. It is amazing how well they are doing! I did not mix anything with the soil, just used it alone. My plants are full, healthy, and growing.”

Resealable Bag

If you don’t use this full bag, you can easily reseal it.  This is a nice feature for people who are potting plants in stages without using the full bag all at once.  Here is a customer comment, about the bag, ” Conveniently reseals which is nice if you don’t use all the soil at once.”

Price

Common Questions

Here are some top questions that I found for people considering buying the Hoffman Organic Cactus and Succulent Soil Mix.

• chevron-circle-right Will this work with aloe vera plants?  Yes, this will work since aloe vera plants are succulents.
• chevron-circle-right How should I sterilize the soil?  Freezing the soil is a great way to sterilize it and get rid of any bugs that may be in the potting soil.  You can also put it in the oven, but this method might take nutrients out of the soil, and it may cause your house to smell.  Overall, freezing it is the best method.
• chevron-circle-right Can I use regular soil for these plants, or do I need potting soil specifically for them?  Cacti and succulents will need soil that is made specifically for them.   Regular soil holds too much water, and may cause the roots to rot.
