The granules absorb water and slowly release to create the perfect climate for your cacti & succulent to thrive. It contains grit and sand for optimum drainage and good root development. Potting Up Seedlings - Fill the pot or seed tray with potting mix and level off. Place seedlings into holes. Gently firm the potting mix, add a little more if necessary and water in. Cuttings - Rooted cuttings should be potted on into individual pots or containers, taking care with fragile roots. For larger cuttings half fill a pot, place the plant in position and fill around the roots with potting mix. Gently firm mix and water well. Re-Potting Re-potting is best advised during the growing season. Water the plant and allow to drain before removing carefully from the pot using folded paper to protect your hands against spikes. Put a layer of potting mix in the new pot and sit the plant on it. Fill the rest of the pot with potting mix, firming lightly around the root ball. Do not water for a few days to prevent rotting of damaged roots. Handy Tips Don’t over water your cacti and succulents. Water less frequently in autumn and not at all in winter unless shriveling is observed. From late spring onwards, water regularly according to weather conditions and the plant variety. For best results, feed with Westland cacti & Succulent Feed. Review: Westland 10200054 Cacti/Succulent Potting Compost Mix, Enriched with Seramis - I recently purchased the Westland 10200054 Cacti/Succulent Potting Compost Mix, enriched with Seramis, and I must say, I am extremely pleased with the results. After inheriting a Christmas plant from my late mother, I was determined to give it the best care possible, and this potting mix did not disappoint. The compost mix comes in a convenient 4-liter bag, which was more than enough for repotting my plant. The packaging was sturdy and sealed well, ensuring the freshness and quality of the compost mix was maintained. Upon opening the bag, I noticed the mix had a light and fluffy texture with a pleasant earthy smell. The addition of Seramis, a moisture-control additive, gave me confidence that my plant would get the right amount of water without risking overwatering. This was crucial, as cacti and succulents require well-draining soil to thrive. Using the mix was a breeze. I gently removed my Christmas plant from its original pot, shook off the excess soil, and placed it in a larger container filled with the Westland compost mix. The mix provided excellent support for the plant's roots, ensuring they were held in place securely. The texture of the compost mix also allowed for proper aeration, preventing root rot and encouraging healthy growth. Over the following weeks, I noticed a significant improvement in my Christmas plant's health. The leaves became more vibrant, and the plant looked overall more robust. The compost mix seemed to provide all the necessary nutrients it needed to thrive. I also appreciated the longevity of the Westland compost mix. Unlike other brands I have tried in the past, this mix retained its texture and moisture control properties for an extended period. It required watering less frequently, saving me time and effort. In conclusion, I highly recommend the Westland 10200054 Cacti/Succulent Potting Compost Mix enriched with Seramis. It not only provided my inherited Christmas plant with the optimal growing conditions, but it also surpassed my expectations in terms of quality and results. If you're looking to revive and nurture your cacti or succulents, this potting mix is definitely worth considering.

Regards Westland **Q: Can I use this to grow basil ?** A: If you are potting on basil plants this would be ideal, but for growing from seed a dedicated seed and cutting compost would be more suitable as it has a finer texture and a nutrient package better for seeds. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Westland 10200054 Cacti/Succulent Potting Compost Mix, Enriched with Seramis *by S***Y on 23 November 2023* I recently purchased the Westland 10200054 Cacti/Succulent Potting Compost Mix, enriched with Seramis, and I must say, I am extremely pleased with the results.
