Succulent & Cacti Super Soil 02
What is it?
A delightful well-draining soil that promotes root growth so you get happy, healthy succulents and cacti without fear of overwatering. No more brown rot!
The perfect formula for thin-leaved succulents (1.5cm thick) such as the chain of hearts, jade or snake plant. Also suitable for baby succulents & cacti.
Why? Thin-leaved, baby succulents and cacti store less water in their leaves than succulents / cacti with thick stems and leaves. Thus, a normal succulent and cacti mix for these beauties may be too well-draining and make your plant thirsty.
If you've got a thick-leaved succulent, add 20% Oxygenating Pumice to this mix to achieve your optimum mix.
Packed with nutrients to promote strong cell walls and robust stems, our 02 formula will make your succulent and cacti (almost) unkillable.
Our blend is 100% vegan & cruelty-free.
Coarse Sand: Provides drainage and breathing space for healthy strong roots.
Perlite: The essential ingredient to create an aerated soil.

Cruelty-free: Made without blood, bone or fish fertiliser. Learn more in The Study.

How much soil do I need for my pot?
Size Guide
880ml = 2x 9cm diameter pots OR 1x 12cm pot
2.8L = 4x 11cm diameter pots OR 1x 18cm pot
6L = 9x 10cm diameter pots OR 1x 23cm pot
If your pots are more deep than wide, we suggest going a size up.
What makes your potting mix so powerful?
We tailor the mix to specific types of plants. It's a practice taken out of the professional grower's rulebook. Our formulas reflect a plant’s place of origin and mimic qualities of drainage, aeration and nutrients so your plant feels right at home, in your home.
What's the difference between cruelty-free, chemical-free and vegan soils?
Whilst these concepts are still emerging, here is our take:
Cruelty-free Soil: Free from blood, bone or fish fertilisers, or anything that comes from the slaughterhouse.
Chemical-free Soil: Free from chemicals.
Vegan Soil: Contains no animal or animal derivatives. Please note we do not include worm castings in our vegan soil, although many vegans are fine with using it because it’s natural.
Our Super Soil line is cruelty-free and chemical-free, while our Vegan Soil is cruelty-free and vegan.
Do you sell your soil in bigger sizes?
Yes. However, due to the high costs of shipping bulk soil we haven’t made larger sizes a mainstream offering.

How long can I store your soil?
We recommend using the soil within 18 months and keeping it in a cool, dry and dark place. Use our resealable zip to keep insects out.
The soil can absolutely be used past 18 months and up to 4 years in the right storage conditions. The potent nutrients do break down over time, so we just suggest adding more nutrients (e.g. extra worm castings) if you are using it past the 18 month mark.
