Desert plants evolved in sandy, mineral-rich soils where water drains fast and roots never sit wet. CactusJacked™ recreates those conditions with a blend of sandy loam, perlite, crushed granite, coco coir, compost, worm castings, gypsum, and dolomite lime. The result is a mix that drains quickly but still retains just enough moisture and nutrients for healthy growth.
Why CactusJacked™ Works:
Fast Drainage & Aeration – Sandy loam, perlite, and granite keep roots from rotting.
Balanced Moisture – Coco coir holds small amounts of water without waterlogging.
Slow Nutrition – Compost and worm castings provide gentle, long-term feeding.
Mineral Support – Gypsum and dolomite lime keep pH balanced and calcium available.
Natural Habitat Replication – Mimics arid desert soils where cacti and succulents thrive.
