Cacti/Succulent Potting Compost Mix and Enriched with Seramis, 4 L Brown 60x3x29 cm

Very happy, I mean you dont get a lot, but it was enough to do a couple of plants. Doesn't appear to be any bugs in it. I have ordered a second bag.

The Westland Cacti/Succulent Potting Compost Mix is a fantastic choice for anyone growing succulents or cacti. The mix has a perfect balance of drainage and moisture retention, ensuring that plants won't succumb to root rot, which is a common issue with these types of plants. One of the standout features is the addition of Seramis, which helps maintain optimal moisture levels by absorbing and slowly releasing water as needed. It’s especially handy for people like me who sometimes forget watering schedules! The texture is light and airy, making repotting effortless, and the 4-liter bag provides enough for several pots, depending on their size. My succulents have visibly perked up since switching to this mix, and it’s clear they’re thriving. If you’re serious about keeping your plants healthy, this potting compost mix is a must-have. Highly recommended for both beginners and seasoned succulent enthusiasts!

8L bag surprisingly goes a long way. Pretty decent, didn't notice any stray roots or bugs in it. The soil is on the heavy side of retaining water. Says it has perlite but didn't really see any?? I added some myself. Probably good for normal houseplants but things like snake plant would struggle in this, I think. Overall pretty good for the price.

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.

Good quality

Value for money

My bonsi needed a repot. It worked.

Bought the Westland Potting Compost Mix enriched with Seramis (4L) to use with some bonsai seeds. On paper, it sounds great — moisture control from the Seramis, decent texture, and it looks like good quality compost. However… none of the bonsai seeds germinated. Now, I can’t say for certain whether that’s down to the compost or the seeds themselves. I’ve had success in the past with other seeds and different soil, so it’s hard not to raise an eyebrow slightly. But I haven’t tested this compost with anything else yet to be fair. The mix itself looks well-balanced, not overly wet or clumpy, and it drains reasonably well. It certainly seems like it should work in theory. So for now, it’s a bit of a neutral score. Could be perfectly fine. Could just have been dodgy seeds. Gardening can be like that. Three stars. Looks good, sounds good… results still pending. 🌱

Bark di pezzatura giusta con aggiunta di seramis, al momento sembra buona, ho rinvasato stamane un dendrobium Stardust che ha radici sottili, quindi la pezzatura del bark va più che bene, x fortuna non contiene torba causa di marchiume radicale, bisogna vedere a lungo termine come si comportano sia l'orchidea che il bark
