High Drainage Cactus Soil Potting Mix with Mycorrhizal Fungi - 8 Pounds / 4 Quarts of Soil for Succulents and Cactus - Slightly Acidic, Gritty Soil for Healthy Indoor Plants - Spike & Bloom

I bought this to plant with white sage and possibly mix in with lavender. I have to say, it is a must have for the sage. I could be wrong but I believe it helped with the germination rate as I grew it from seed. Lavender doesnt like wet feet either, and I think this soil is a sure bet for it as well. Worth the money. Cant wait to try it with succulents and cacti!

Works well so far

This is by far the best for your cactus around absolutely the fn best

The best cactus medium so far. If you’re worried about the material being too dense, I would suggest buying some pumice rock and mixing it in to spread things out. Expensive, but I’d rather pay more now than have to replace a poorly cared for plant.

It's great but I'd still recommend adding more horticultural lava rocks and more sand. My home climate seems to keep this soil moist for longer than id like so I added a large bag of lava rocks with some sand

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.

Great for all of my cactus and succulents. I don’t use any other soil.

Expensive for what you get. It might be absolutely amazing but I can’t afford it, I needed 8 more bags.
