Amazing Cactus Soil

Great soil for cacti packed with minerals. If you use for seeds you might want to sterilise otherwise you will get mushrooms.

Hello, due to a miscommunication where no party was at fault, I am satisfied with the action I received after my issue was addressed. I received a full refund on the product that was in question, plus I got to keep 20L of soil for free. As soon as the business was made aware, I was taken care of without delay.

Had high expectations

I have to say I had really high expectations, given the reviews. Needless to say I am somewhat disappointed. I found both types of succulent soils to be horrible and one of them was full of what appears to be broken down bits of brick and other things. I will continue my search for something better.

Hi KJ,

To clarify, the assumption about 'crushed brick' is incorrect; I believe you are referring to Zeolite. The other additives in the mineral portion of the mix are pumice, volcanic basalt, gypsum, and limestone. These are all listed clearly in the product description for your future reference.

Regarding your order, we have only one recorded purchase from you, which included a single variant of cactus soil. If you’re referring to another product, could you please provide more details?

If you have constructive feedback, I’m all ears and would genuinely appreciate hearing it. I’d also like to remind you that our policies include a money-back guarantee on all DRGT Pty Ltd-produced products. In the future, (or for any customers reading this review) If you’re ever unsatisfied with a product, I encourage you to take advantage of this policy for peace of mind.

Best regards,
Scott

Some good dirt

I have planted a couple of Aloe Arborescens using this mix, although it seems a bit hard and the water to take a while to penetrate they look to be doing fine. I am a newbie to this so maybe that's how it should be?
