Levington Cactus & Bonsai Compost 10L

A sandy, very free draining compost - ideal for cacti and desert plants.I have used this to re pot my aloe vera plant and it is thriving in its new pot.The compost is damp in the bag - for cacti etc I would leave it out to dry for a few days before potting. This is not a problem for my aloe vera - they can handle a bit of water on occasion. It was easy to use and has really improved the soil drainage.Compared to other brands this does appear to be very good value for a decent sized bag.

I used to use standard compost for my aloe vera, mixed with gravel, for 6 years. I used to replace it every year or so and I t never looked too bad but didn’t quite have the succulence it was supposed to have. However, from the end of last year it started losing the thickness and curling inwards while the colour looked very dull and the tips were turning amber.Bought this compost and replaced the soil in early September. For about 2 weeks I was not sure if they were working, but after almost 2 months I can now see the nutrition in this compost is really working. The aloe looks surprisingly plump, rigid and looking very healthy; the leaves look much longer and wider than I have ever seen!!It is a bit pricy compared to normal compost but I’m glad I purchased this one, it’s definitely worth the money when you want your succulents to come back to life.

Lovely stuff. Cactus now happy. Just wish it came in bigger sizes.

Got a lot of use out of it so far and still have some left. Obviously had to mix in some additives (perlite, coco coir, worm castings) as this cactus soil is very organic. It also has some moisture retention type of material that I am not fond of. You will see it as thumb sized hard dark lumps throughout the mixture. I just pick them out when I find them. But as long as you add grit, sand or rocks with this compost it is suitable and well draining enough for cacti and succulents. My cacti have bloomed since repotting in this soil mixture.

Bought this for my cacti plants and the compost was really good and easy to use. Suits my succulent plants. The seller was very prompt in responding and helpful which makes both the product and service to be excellent. I recommend this product. Price was also reasonable.

Good well-draining soil with sand which improves drainage. It's the second bag I bought from Levington for succulents. I only add perlite to it, but even without, it's one of the best I have found so far at a relatively good price. Also fast delivery.

Replanted some succulents that had either outgrown their pots or had babies. No casualties and all the plants are looking healthy and strong after about 6 weeks. Highly recommended as I can manage to kill even plastic plants normally!

I use this compost to repot my aloe vera "babies" which I'm quickly overrun with. The ones that I have re-potted using this compost are thriving. I'm even giving them away to neighbours because they grow so well!
