Hi, I've got 8 cacti that I want to transplant into a bigger pot, and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice one what is the best potting mix I should use for them :) The cacti are:-Peruvian Old Man Cactus-Albino Corn Cob Cactus- Fish Hook Barrel Cactus-Brain Cactus-Golden Ball Cactus-Porcupine Cactus-2x unknown:)
Scott's Miracle grow makes a product for succulents. It is named Cactus, palm and citrus blend
One ingredient that was not mentioned in the 1st two answers is horticultural perlite. But sand is another important one.
How long has this been going on? Wait a few days if you already haven't. If she's eating and keeping well, I don't see too much of an issue, but give the soil time to dry I guess.
Hiya! I would use just a regular potting mix, but add a very little sand and some vermiculite. You can buy potting mixes just for cacti, but they are usually expensive. I'm in Adelaide and my potted cacti go fine with an all round potting mix with sand. Where are you? If you are in a cooler/wetter area, you need more drainage, whereas I'm in a much dryer place and I still need wettasoil every six months for pots, even for my cacti that are indoors. I also add a little blood and bone. Don't get the super expensive mixes, they can be too rich for cacti. Hope this helps!
