Product Description

Jack's Gritty Mix for succulents, cacti, and Bonsai

Jacks gritty mix ingredients

Jacks gritty mix intended use

Jacks gritty mix instructions

Jacks gritty mix features

Ingredients

1 part each. Bonsai Block(1/4 inch ball clay), Monto Clay(1/4 inch montmorillonite clay), and Pine Coir(unscreened pine bark ranging from dust to 3/8ths inch). Zero additives or dyes.

Intended Use

Gritty mix is a good fit for the most of the 30 thousand species of succulents and cacti that exist. Gritty mix is not a good fit for standard houseplants, Thanksgiving cactus, Christmas cactus, Ponytail palm, snake plant and some vine type(string of xxx) succulents in most zones.

Instructions

Remove as much of the old potting soil without damaging the roots. Position the plant with one hand. Pour soil around and into the container to set it. Water well the first time then when completely dry. Slip-potting is acceptable if the old soil is also a gritty mix. Fines are important and should not be removed.

Features

Ultra-fast draining. Bag sizes range from 2 quarts to 24 gallons. Every batch is washed with several hundred gallons of water. Color may vary slightly due to natural variations.
