1. Composition of the cactus soil
Special peat mixture of:
1. Finely sifted high-quality horticultural peat.
Homogeneous fine mixture without lumps, lumps or twigs.
Finely sieved to leave a certain size of peat fibres.
2. Supplemented with Total Manure for a complete amount of nutrients.
3. Supplemented with a little lime for the right acidity pH .
4. Supplemented with lava meal (lava powder) for additional strengthening natural minerals.
5. Supplemented with 20% Perlite to make the soil more permeable.
The Perlite is supplied loose, so you can determine the quantity yourself.
The more Perlite in the soil, the faster the soil dries out.
|
2. Add extra Lava meal
You can add extra Lava meal to enrich the soil even more with minerals, which:
1. strengthens the plant.
2. gives even more compact growth.
3. gives stronger and tastier fruit.
4. produces even thicker and more coloured thorns.
|
3. Adding Perlite
Additional addition of Perlite to the soil:
1. increases the draining effect of the soil, allowing water to drain faster.
2. allows the soil to hold less water, causing the soil to dry more quickly.
3. improves soil structure, making the soil looser and airier.
This prevents soil compacting, and improves oxygen uptake by plant roots.
As a result, the roots of Cacti and other plants function better.

4. Application of the Cactus soil
1. For repotting (transferring) Cacti in another pot.
2. For repotting cuttings or sown Cacti.
3. As basic soil for all Cactus species to which you add other substrates.
In this way you can compose the soil as you wish.

5. CACTUS SOIL IN NATURE
Cacti grow in nature in many different areas and in varying climates.
Cacti therefore grow in nature in many different types of soil.
In each natural area, cacti are adapted to these conditions (soil and climate).
Each natural soil type has certain properties, with certain advantages and disadvantages.
Roots of cacti in nature
Usually the roots grow in humus from decayed plant remains of leaves, twigs, flowers, fruits.
In a rocky soil, these plant remains are on the surface, and between the rocks and stones.
So the Cactus does grow among rocks, boulders and gravel, but these serve mainly to give the plant support.
The roots of the Cactus grow in di places in the soil where the plant remains and nutrition are located.
Soil drying out in nature
In nature, soil dries out quickly because:
-- the soil often contains pebbles that absorb little or no water.
-- the temperature is higher.
-- There is more wind.
-- the soil slopes (hill, slope).

6. CACTUS SOIL IN CULTURE
The conditions at home are different from those in nature!
The trick is to find a balance between all the conditions your plants experience.
The most important thing is that your Cacti and succulents do not stay wet for too long.
Adding Perlite to cactus soil
By adding Perlite to the cactus soil, the soil dries out faster.
You will need less Perlite in sunny locations, and more Perlite in less sunny locations of your plants.
For moisture-sensitive plants such as Ariocacrpus species and Ace flowers, you need more Perlite.
