Best for…
- Indoor and balcony succulents, cacti and other arid-lovers.
- People who tend to overwater but still love chunky, architectural plants.
- Resetting sad Kmart rescue succulents into something they can actually live in.
What’s inside
- Cacti & Succulent Potting Mix (7 L) – Gritty, airy, fast-draining mix to mimic arid conditions and prevent root rot.
- Soil & Microbe Booster (500 mL) – Concentrated microbes and organic matter to keep even lean mixes biologically active and plants more resilient.
Plant Runner Tip
With succulents, mix and watering do most of the work. Pot into this mix, add a little Booster around the roots, then water deeply but infrequently. Bright light + proper drying between drinks = firm, colourful growth instead of sad, stretched stems.
