## Description

Hey there! Paul and John from Spike and Bloom here, and let's just say we've gotten our hands dirty in the pursuit of creating the ultimate cactus soil mix. You see, we're plant enthusiasts through and through, and we were determined to create the best cactus soil mix on the market. So, we scoured the United States for the best ingredients to include in our custom blend, experimenting with different combinations of materials until we found the perfect balance for the base. It wasn't easy, but we were dedicated to creating a cactus soil mix that was second to none. And we think we've succeeded! Our cactus and succulent soil is specially formulated to promote healthy root growth, prevent root rot, and make your cactus plants the envy of the neighborhood. It's made with premium U.S. ingredients and has a pH of 6.5, because let's face it, cactus plants can be a little finicky. But we didn't stop there. We've also included a generous helping of activated charcoal to purify the soil and give your cactus plants a fighting chance. And let's not forget about our secret ingredient: mycorrhizae powder. Mycorrhizae are a type of beneficial fungi that form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, helping to improve the uptake of water and nutrients and increasing the plant's overall vigor. In other words, they help plants to thrive! Mycorrhizae create a vast network of filaments that can extend far beyond the reach of a plant's root system, increasing the surface area available for nutrient and water uptake. They also produce hormones that promote root growth and help to protect plants from disease. By including mycorrhizae in our cactus mix, we're giving your cactus and succulent plants a little extra boost to help them grow strong and healthy. So if you want to give your cactus and succulents the best care possible, give Spike and Bloom's cactus mix a try. Your plants (and their prickly personalities) will thank you. Happy growing! Paul and John

Review: This soil has amazing drainage and keeps my cactus roots healthy and happy. I repotted several of my cactus babies with it, and they’ve been thriving—no soggy soil or root rot. The texture is loose, airy, and mixed with just the right amount of grit. If you’re a cactus or succulent lover, this mix makes watering easier and helps prevent overwatering mistakes. My plants adjusted quickly, and I noticed new growth within weeks. Highly recommend for cactus moms and dads! 🌵🤍
Review: I've been searching for a good soil mix for my cacti and succulents as the cheaper big box retailers only sell mixes with a lot of organic material and poor drainage. This potting mix has so far been wonderful for my cacti that are prone to root rot - such as my lophs. I even potted some de-grafts and they immediately took to this soil and started growing out roots and producing flowers and seed pods. It's a very fine mix with only charcoal and wood chips to hold water, so it retains just the right amount of water without the risk of getting root rot. We'll see how it holds up after a few years, but it's the right amount of drainage and nutrients so far for some good growth. It is expensive, but the type of cacti and succulents you should be planting with this soil are the smaller more "exotic" types that shouldn't be in large pots anyway. If you want soil for a larger cactus, such as a saguaro, you're better off buying a bigger/cheaper brand as that'll need a larger pot and it'll still do fine in generic cactus soil. But for my more expensive cacti in smaller pots, this is worth the price as only the best will do. I'm not going to be cheap on the soil for a $300 cactus that's only the size of a football.

*by M***D on 17 November 2025*

I have been growing succulents (trying to grow lol) for the past 6 years and I have tried all sorts of soil, but this High Drainage soil mix is FANTABULOUS!! It brought my struggling babies back to life, and they are no longer succulents but mini succulent trees!! I bought 2 more bags so I could re-pot my babies and grow new ones! Did all the research before buying this product, and the reviews dont lie, and neither does the product!!
