What Is Westland Peat Free Cacti & Succulent Potting Mix Enriched with Seramis?

The Westland Peat Free Cacti & Succulent potting mix is formulated for the correct balance of drainage and water retention as well as aeration. This Peat Free specially blended potting mix includes grit and sand. It allows free-drainage and encourages strong roots. The formulation supports healthy growth of Cacti and Succulents. This potting compost will supply your plant with all the nutrients it needs for the first 4-6 weeks. The resealable pouch is easy to use, access and store.


Seramis® provides water management as it absorbs and slowly releases water and dissolved nutrients. It promotes an open, porous soil structure that supports your plant’s root zone. It helps to avoid soil compaction and supports strong root growth. It works to increase airflow and humidity to create a beneficial microclimate.


The slimline, resealable pouch is designed to stand upright so it is easy to find on shelves or any cupboard or where space is tight.
