Cactacee

Cacti, stone crops, and all succulent plants

Home  »     »   Cactacee

Cactacee potting soil is fertile and drains well, making it ideal for succulent plants that do not tolerate waterlogging. In fact, the composition allows it to temporarily retain large quantities of water, enabling the plant to build up a supply, while also draining well to prevent waterlogging, which would lead to rotting of the roots and then the epigeal part of the plant. The addition of pumice sand (0–3 mm) also guarantees excellent macroporosity. Cacti generally require high temperatures, even in winter, and they grow well in full sun. If the outside temperature does not fall below 5–6°C degrees, they can be safely grown outdoors.

Technical sheet


READY-EFFECT FERTILIZERS

This soil is enriched with a particular combination of ready-effect nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium-based fertilizers, which are able to offer an indispensable boost to give vigor to the root growth phase.


WITH IRISH PEAT

It is a particularly refined ingredient, which guarantees the oxygenation of the roots and prevents water stagnation. It is best suitable for maintaining a stable substrate structure over time.


WITH CALIBRATED PUMICE

This material ensures high porosity, also favouring drainage and a uniform distribution of water, while avoiding water stagnation.
