Cactus Soil

Cactus soil is beneficial for growing cacti because it mimics the native environment in which these desert plants are accustomed to growing. Cacti have shallow, delicate root systems that will not thrive in potting mediums that are overly dense. Cacti are also drought-tolerant and easily susceptible to root rot, meaning they won’t grow well in soil that is high in organic matter and holds excess moisture. Cactus soil mixes address all of these unique needs and are formulated specifically to help cacti do well when grown indoors.

Simply put, regular potting soil is not suitable to provide these desert dwellers with the conditions they need to thrive.
