Soil Blend Ingredients
For Long - Term Soil Health & Sustainability
Lava Rock
-
Benefits: Lava rock is highly porous, which enhances drainage and aeration within the soil. This prevents water from stagnating around the roots, which is crucial for cacti prone to root rot when overwatered.
-
Contribution: It also helps keep the soil mix light and airy, allowing roots to grow more freely and breathe better.
Fungi
-
Benefits: Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, helping them absorb more water and nutrients from the soil. This can be particularly beneficial in nutrient-poor environments.
-
Contribution: For cacti, these fungi enhance the root’s ability to access water and essential nutrients, which is vital in arid conditions or where water is infrequent.
Sand
-
Benefits: Coarse sand is crucial in cactus soil mixes as it drastically improves drainage, ensuring water flows freely through the soil and roots don’t sit in moisture for too long.
-
Contribution: Sand also helps maintain the soil structure, preventing it from compacting over time, which is essential for the health of cactus roots.
Biochar
-
Benefits: Biochar is a form of charcoal that improves soil’s fertility and its ability to retain essential nutrients. It also helps with water retention and provides a habitat for beneficial soil microbes.
-
Contribution: In cactus soil, biochar helps maintain adequate moisture levels and nutrient availability, enhancing overall plant health and stress tolerance.
Pumice
-
Benefits: Similar to lava rock, pumice improves soil drainage and aeration but with slightly better water retention. It's lightweight and helps anchor roots, providing stability to growing plants.
-
Contribution: Pumice’s ability to hold moisture without becoming waterlogged aids in delivering a consistent moisture level appropriate for cacti.
Bark
-
Benefits: Bark adds slight acidity and organic structure to the soil. It helps improve moisture retention and air circulation at a moderate level.
-
Contribution: For cacti, bark helps mimic their natural growing environments, providing a more organic feel to the soil structure.
Compost
-
Benefits: Compost enriches the soil with organic matter, providing essential nutrients that cacti need to thrive. It also enhances the soil's texture and fertility.
-
Contribution: While cacti need less organic material than other plants, the right amount of compost can stimulate healthy growth without encouraging excessive water retention.
