i normally use fox farm brand. tried this for aloe because it is a succulent. died. i thought i did something wrong. used the soil for spider plant (which is really hard to kill) and within a week it is dying. i’ve potted dozens of spider plant and never had this happen. will never use this soil again

Hi There! We are sorry to hear you're having trouble with our soil. While spider plants do not mind a cacti & succulent soil, it is not an ideal choice since spider plants prefer a slightly more moisture-retentive soil, and a cactus mix can dry out too quickly, potentially requiring more frequent watering. Please reach out to contact@backtotheroots.com, we would love to help you grow with our soil.

This soil had gnats. And a lot of them: I had to throw the bag away.

Really disappointed. The soil is covered in mold just a few days after opening, and now I have gnats everywhere

Really disappointed. The soil is covered in mold just a few days after opening, and now I have gnats everywhere. I've spent dozens on gnat traps and spray now and have a nearly full bag of moldy (how did it mold???) Soil that is useless.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The Organic succulents and cacti mix is a good size bag of organic soil for my succulent and cacti arrangement I received from a friend recently. I had to repot the arrangement as the florist didn’t have the succulents and cacti in the arrangement properly. I like that the soil is organic as I like to be as organic with my food and plants as much as possible. A good value for an organic soil.
Great for your succulents

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I had some propagated succulents that needed to be potted, and grabbed this bag of soil. It can be hard to know what to use for all the different types of plants, so this took the guesswork out of it! It worked well, and I like that the bag comes in a small size because succulents really don’t need much at all! It was nice to use to top off all the succulents around the house too.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This soil mix worked well for me. I had a nursery tell me that I can grow almost any of my house plants in a mixture of this succulent cacti mix, it drains fast and it holds water very well. The secret is don't water it very much. Like not more than once every 7 to 10 days. If you water it any more than that, I do find that it grows fungus quicker which leads to gnats. I mixed this with a little bit of potting mix, and so far my plants love me.
Nice mix

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This cactus mix soil blend is an excellent choice for cactus owners. Its fast-draining and gritty composition, combined with its porous and aerated texture, makes it an ideal blend for supporting the healthy growth of plants. The product is organic and contains all the requirements that plants need to grow healthy. The price is quite affordable. I recommend the product for sure.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This product is great! I am very happy that it's an organic product and it seems to be really helping my plants. The bag is big enough to do several medium size plants, or a bunch of smaller plants which I appreciate. Overall I would definitely recommend the soil.
Massive Fungus Gnat Infestation & Root Rot

JessB - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
Had high hopes for this, but after repotting a few large aloe plants, I now have a MASSIVE fungus gnat infestation that has spread to all of my house plants. To make matters worse, this soil holds water like a sponge and my previously thriving plants now look awful. What a disaster.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. My succulents love this special soil. They had outgrown their pots, and I needed to repot them. They are doing so well now. The bag is easy to open, and it has instructions on it to show how many pots it can fill. I like that it's organic also. Plus it's made in the USA. Great product!
Succulents are thriving!

Spawned mushrooms in the plants I repotted with this. Completely horrible soil. Do not recommend. Would give 0 stars if possible.

Hi NicoleT! The mushrooms in your soil are not a bad thing, it means your soil is biologically alive and healthy. Please send a photo of your mushrooms growing to contact@backtotheroots.com, we would love to help you grow in our soils.
