Succulent & Cactus Soil (2 gallons). Ultra fast draining design helps prevent root rot and over watering. Contains no heavy potting soil ingredients such as sphagnum or peat moss. Provide your prized plants with a potting soil that mimics their natural dry environments. Proven number one seller.
Why Mountain Crest Gardens loves Bonsai Jack® soil: This premium soil is our go-to for indoor succulent growing. And we wouldn't give our favorite plant babies anything less than the best! It's also what we recommend for beginners (who sometimes over-love their plants with too much water). It helps prevent the most common succulent killer: rot. Honestly, we've yet to see a plant in this gritty mix get overwatered (in a pot with a drainage hole of course). It also has a wonderful, clean look, so we never cover it with a top dressing. This truly is the crème de la crème for cactus and succulent lovers who've had enough with rot, fungus gnats, and mold. We're hooked and we're never looking back!

Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
The only genus of succulents Bonsai Jack might give you trouble with on your list is Peperomia. Many of them are not quite succulent enough to handle such a well draining soil. If you amended the soil by mixing equal parts Bonsai Jack and normal potting soil, that would be enough for Peperomia.
For example, someone has a garden bed that they want to fill with soil. Say their bed is 4 feet wide by 6 feet long and they want a soil depth of 8 inches. For them to calculate the volume, all the units must be the same, so they covert the length and width to inches. That's 48 inches wide by 72 inches long and the soil depth is still 8 inches. Multiplying these together gets you 27,648 inches cubed (48 * 72 * 8 = 27648). That's great but the bags are in gallons so they'll have to covert inches cubed to gallons. Google has a great converter, which I'll link to below, and it says that 27,648 inches cubed equals, roughly, 119.7 gallons… See full answer »
