Back to the Roots Succulents & Cacti Mix

Absolutely amazing. Mike McGrath of 'You Bet Your Garden' (NPR/PBS) highly recommended organic-certified compost (plant-only, no peat moss) to mix 50-50 with top 3 inches in garden pots containing organic pot planting soil. Your Back To The Roots Compost has been fabulous. My plants and early organic seeds ( peas, beans, lettuces, etc.) are all sprouting in a week. They all look healthier than I ever saw on my deck and many more sprouted. I recommend your compost to everyone.

So I dont have green thumbs - love organic - put these in with my herbs and hey voila - got myself some herbs.

I was skeptical when I first got this but wow am I impressed! This stuff is great. Better than description and it expanse a lot....a whole lot. Very easy to work with too. I am placing more orders. Very quick delivery too. Buy it. You wont regret it. Perfect for starting seeds, soil amendment and more.

While this wasn’t my first experience working with plants, it was my first time needing to completely replace soil to rescue a plant from gnat-infested soil. I chose Back to the Roots Organic Coir, 51 Quart Expanding Soil because I wanted a clean, organic option that would help eliminate pests rather than reintroduce them. I also was working with a small space to replant. I did this in the bathroom. I placed the compressed block directly into a 27-gallon tote and added water let it expand and did a little chopping with a spatula. What stood out the most was just how much soil this product produced. Expanding the coir directly in the 27-gallon tote nearly filled the entire container, which really exceeded my expectations for a single compressed block. The soil has a rich, fine texture and looks evenly hydrated and well-aerated, as shown in the image. It was easy to work with and didn’t feel heavy or muddy, making it ideal for gently replanting without compacting the roots too tightly. Overall, this expanding soil made a stressful plant-rescue situation feel manageable and successful. The lightweight texture retains moisture while still draining well, which is especially important when dealing with fungus gnats. Since switching to this soil, the plant feels more stable and supported, and the surface stays clean instead of soggy. For anyone needing to refresh contaminated soil, repot stressed plants, or simply wants a clean and reliable organic growing medium, Back to the Roots Organic Coir delivers excellent volume, quality, and peace of mind. Picture is of the newly repotted plant.

If you’ve ever loved a succulent to death by overwatering, you know the heartbreak of soggy roots. This organic mix is light, gritty, and drains beautifully, mimicking the desert environment succulents crave. My aloe and echeverias bounced back immediately firm, vibrant, and thriving.
