It’s helping my plants come back from near death!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am hoping this soil will help save my succulents and aloe plant. They seem to be trying to grow back which makes me super happy! The soil is moist and doesn’t cause a lot of dust which is also a plus. I wish the bag was resealable because with small succulents you don’t typically need a large bag. The packaging is nice and makes it easy for me to keep it separate from my other soil types so I appreciate that. Overall I’m happy with it!

Didn't work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this to grow succulents but it didn't work. Not sure what went wrong. I don't blame the product completely since I'm an amateur with succulents. Should try again.

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own a variety of succulents that need repotting. Nowhere near being a green thumb so was happy to find the Back to the Roots Succulent mix. This bag will pot up to four 6 inch pots. It was easy to work with and didn’t have a strong smell. I like that this mix includes plant food as well. Looking forward to seeing my succulents thrive.

My plants loving this soil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Back to the Roots Succulent Mix (6 qt) for a little bit now and honestly, I really like it. The texture is nice and airy with thay gritty feel you want for a succulents, it doesn’t feel dense or heavy at all, which make repotting super easy. When it comes to watering, I don’t feel like I have to stress as much about overdoing it because the soil drains really well. It doesn’t stay soggy, and my plants seem a lot happier because of it. It’s also pretty lightweight and a good amount for the price, so I feel like it’s definitely worth it - especially if you have a few plants to take care of. Overall, it just makes plant care feel a lot simpler.

This soil has a nice airy light weight appearance. It has added limestone to control the PH along with perlite, sand , and aged bark, for aeration and drainage. It is enriched with organic plant food that provides just the right amount for my succulents and cacti. It provided nice drainage upon watering. I highly recommend this top notch product.

Soil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love succulent/cacti plants, so living in WA, you don’t get great big desert plants. So my puny lil window plants will have to do—anyway, this mix seems to be doing OK.
I have read many times that perlite isn’t the best for succulents(?) not sure how true that actually is. But after placing my little succulent clippings into a pot, I noticed there is a LOT of sticks going on through this soil. Not very ideal if you want a fancy mini succulent/cactus set up with rocks placed just right on top of the soil. In their natural habitat, there aren’t a million sticks in the soil?
This mix looked like it was half bark, half potting soil. Which isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing.
So, we shall see how well this stuff works—or doesn’t work. I’ll update my review if there are any changes!

Great texture and drainage so far—excited to see h
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Back to the Roots Succulent Mix to repot my new succulent and so far I’m really happy with it. The soil has a nice texture and particle size that seems perfect for succulents. It drains well and was easy to work with when planting. I haven’t had enough time to see long-term results yet, but my plant looks healthy and settled in so far. I’m excited to keep watching her grow and see how she does in this mix!

Good mix
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This succulent and cacti soil has a great mix of bark, sand, peat, and perlite. I usually supplement my soil but decided to leave this as is. It has good drainage which keeps my Christmas cactus happy. I like that it has some pre added plant food, and I hope my cactus continues to thrive!

The perfect drainage booster for my monstera plant
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually use it for my Monstera, and it has been a game changer. Even though it is designed for cactus, the texture is exactly what I was looking for to prevent root rot. It's very gritty and well drained which helps a lot for my beautiful monstera, and 6 quart bag is perfect for my plant.

Looking for wall balanced soil for your succulents
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Provides excellent drainage. This special blend is specifically made for succulents. It is organic and is suitable to keep your plants healthy and alive. The packaging was ok but when I opened it up there were several gnats in the bag. I’m hoping that my other plants in the house do not attract these gnats. Overall a good product for the price.

Perfect mix
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This potting mix is perfect for succulents. Succulents have different needs than the rest of my garden, so when trying to add succulents to my garden I was stumped on soil. This succulent mix is the perfect blend and will help boost my garden. The bag is a small size which is great for versatile needs. There is no pressure to buy a huge bag if you don’t need it.
Would recommend this product if you are hoping to start a succulent garden!

My Succulents LOVE This Soil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I repotted my succulents and cacti using this soil, and one of my plants started blooming for for first time in over a year (those little red flowers on the aloe-like succulent plant visible in the picture attached)!
This is an excellent soil mix for those looking for a blend with great drainage capabilities—prior to using, I had them in a moisture control soil mix, however they were not nearly as happy—I am already seeing a ton of new growth too!
All in all, this was a 5/5 for me, and I’ll for sure be purchasing more when these little plant babies need to move up again in their planter size.

The packaging was sturdy and easy to open, and I didn’t notice any insects or unwanted debris in the mix. My plants adjusted quickly after repotting and look healthy and vibrant.

Great soil for succulents
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Back to the Roots Succulent Mix in the 6 quart bag is a great value! The blend provides necessary drainage for succulents and cacti to avoid overwatering, plus it includes necessary nutrients to help your plants grow. Having specialty soil like this takes the guess work out of growing and maintaining succulents. I’d recommend this to experienced and new succulent growers.
