Back to the Roots 100% Organic Succulent & Cacti Mix (6 Quart) | Made in the USA | Premium Nutrition for Indoor and Outdoor Plants

I use this as a base for my custom succulent soil mix, and it works really well. The soil looks clean and is easy to handle and blend with other materials. With a few small tweaks, it's great for growing succulents and cacti.

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.

I’ve tried a few different succulent soils before, and this one has worked really well for my plants. The texture feels light and gritty, which is exactly what you want for succulents and cacti since it drains quickly and doesn’t stay soggy after watering. I repotted several plants using this mix and noticed they adjusted pretty fast with no signs of overwatering or root stress. It also doesn’t have that strong chemical smell some soils have, which I appreciate when using it indoors. The bag was clean with very few large wood pieces, and I didn’t need to mix in extra perlite right away like I’ve had to do with other brands. For beginners especially, it’s convenient because it’s ready to use straight out of the bag. Overall, a solid organic mix that makes repotting simple and keeps succulents happy. I’ll definitely buy it again.

I used the Back to The Roots 100% Organic Succulent & Cacti Mix for my African Milk Plant and a few of my smaller cacti, and it has worked beautifully so far. The texture is exactly what you want in a cactus mix. It’s light, gritty, and well draining without feeling dusty or overly chunky. Water flows through easily, which is crucial for succulents that hate sitting in soggy soil. Since repotting, my African Milk Plant has stayed firm and happy with no signs of root rot or stress. I also appreciate that it’s organic. It gives me peace of mind knowing I’m not adding unnecessary chemicals to my plants, especially when I keep some indoors. If you’re repotting succulents or cacti and want a ready-to-use mix that drains properly and supports healthy roots, this is a solid option. Great consistency, easy to work with, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. 🌱

I thought this was good potting mix for my succulents, but there were some big pieces of wood and some pieces of sticks that I had to pull out. (Not a big deal, but noteworthy.) Overall, I was satisfied with it. I was amazed at quickly it arrived! There is enough here to last me a long time, and if I ever run out, I'll definitely buy again.

I’ve lost more succulents than I care to admit to "universal" potting soils that stay damp for way too long. I bought this bag to repot my growing collection of echeveria and a stubborn jade plant and the difference in texture is immediately obvious. It’s gritty, airy and doesn't clump into a wet sponge when you water it. You can actually see the water move through the soil and out the drainage holes which is exactly what my desert plants need to avoid the dreaded root rot. The best part is that it’s 100% organic so I don't have to worry about weird synthetic additives. Since switching, my jade plant has actually started putting out new, firm growth and the colors on my succulents seem a lot more vibrant. It’s the perfect size for a small "plant surgery" afternoon on the patio without having a massive, heavy bag leftover. If you’re a plant parent who tends to overwater, this mix is basically the best insurance policy you can buy for your cacti.

I've been propagating Aloe for a few years now and my plants didn't really thrive until I started using this mix. Highly recommend for succulents! Great value for the money, decent bag size.

This is good succulent soil. I put my aloe vera plants in it and they made some new ones. I was pleasantly surprised because I am not very good with plants.
