DESCRIPTION
Succulent Gritty Mix is ideal for a wide variety of succulents and other dry-weather plants. It contains more organic matter and retains more moisture/nutrients than our cactus soil.
WHAT’S IN IT?
- Organic: coconut coir, coconut husk chips, recycled forest products

WHAT PLANTS LOVE IT?
Well-suited for plants like Aeonium, Aloe, Cotyledon, Crassula Jade, Echeveria, Portulacaria Afra Elephant Bush, Graptopetalum, Haworthia, Kalanchoe, Sansevieria Snake Plants, Sedum, Sempervivum Hens & Chicks, Senecio String of Bananas Dolphins or Pearls, etc.
FUN FACT
This mix utilizes recycled coconut chips and coir, an otherwise wasted byproduct of the coconut industry. Of the 50 million coconuts produced around the world each year, about 85% of the husks are discarded as trash. As a soil component, the ground husks offer excellent aeration and water retention.
The company, the soil, the people behind it... top notch! The packaging is stunning the a soil is even better! My plants are happy and healthy! I absolutely recommend! Check it out at @NicciBarilla on the gram to see how I use it with all my plants!
All the bags I ordered and some from work had a very musty smell to them. I afraid to use them on my cacti especially.
I have great expectations for this soil mix and just ordered more (ran short).
Always the best thing for my plants. It’s composed of the right ratio of materials! I personally don’t have the time or space to make my own soil mixes so buying this is great.
I’ve been slowly repotting all of my indoor plants using Sol Soils- it’s the best! Love this mix for all of my succulents- really helps with drainage and helps prevent root rot!
