Highlights
'Fuldaglut' or 'Fulda Glow' (now known as Phedimus spurius): A fast-growing ground cover with bronze to green leaves that deepen to burgundy in the fall and winter. They're great at spreading, even in poor soil. In summer it unfurls a sea of tiny pink flowers that attracts pollinators. 'Fuldaglut' goes partially dormant in winter, losing most of its leaves and re-sprouting them each spring. S. spurium is native to the Caucasus Range and shows its best colors when grown in full sun.
Hardy Sedum are easy, frost-hardy plants that thrive outdoors with full sun and great drainage. Plant in raised beds or containers with drainage holes and mix 50% coarse sand, pumice, or perlite into the soil to prevent rot. Regular water will help young plants establish roots and spread quickly, but mature Sedum can tolerate several months of drought. If you choose to propagate by hand, cut off the top 2.0"+ of stem and transplant it to re-root.

Questions & Answers
Popular Questions

If you do tend to over water, straight Bonsai Jack soil should work well. It drains water so fast that some people have trouble keeping even many succulents plump. However, if you tend to overwater anyway, it won't give you any trouble.
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.

There is a difference! Potting mix is sterile but doesn't contain soil while potting soil has more organic material. We recommend potting soil as potting mix is used primarily to increase the drainage which Bonsai Jack soil already has plenty of.
• Staff Answer
That depends on the plant. For things like Lithops, Pleiospilos, and many cacti, this soil alone is perfect. However, for things like Sedum, Echeveria and Crassula, mixing this Bonsai Jack soil with regular potting soil in a 1:1 ratio would work very well.
• Staff Answer
You can! Bonsai Jack without any mixing works very well for Lithops.
• Staff Answer
This soil is made with calcined clay, pine bark and montmorillonite clay.
• Staff Answer
Bonsai Jack soil is made up of roughly 33% pine coir and that's the only organic matter in there. However, we could probably be more forgiving on that 80% mineral number. I bet 70-80% would be just fine.
The reason I say that is because Bonsai Jack can drain water incredibly well, to the point where a common complaint about it is that it doesn't hold enough water. For someone growing Echeveria, this could be a problem, but for Lithops, this is perfect.

Aloe vera is a tough plant that can take a wide variety of soil types, compared to other Aloes. Because of this, you could plant this in straight Bonsai Jack soil or in a mix. Humidity will make for a good deciding factor. If you're growing this plant in high humidity, use straight Bonsai Jack, but if the air is dry more often than not, mix the Bonsai Jack with potting soil 2:1.
• Staff Answer
You can, and you should, for most succulents. Try a 1:1 ratio of Bonsai Jack to Miracle Grow succulent soil. Only the most drought tolerant of succulents (like most cacti, Lithops, Pleiospilos, etc.) should get only Bonsai Jack.
• Staff Answer
Yes, try mixing this with an equal volume of bagged succulent soil from a garden center. We tend to only use 100% Bonsai Jack Gritty Mix for very drought tolerant varieties, like Lithops, cacti, and Agave. Young plant and succulents with thinner leaves often need a little more organic matter in their soil to retain a bit of water.
• Staff Answer
It's alright! Beginners are more than welcome here!
Bonsai Jack is a soil, meaning it's primarily used to fill pots. The reason it looks so rocky, like how a "deco" layer might, is because it has very little organic matter in it. Organic matter gives soil that cohesive look that normal potting soil has. It also is what holds on to water in soil. Bonsai Jack soil is designed to have hardly any organic matter so that it sheds water well, and doesn't hold on to it.
However, it can also be used for a deco layer on a more organic soil if you want. It does look nice but that's more of a matter of aesthetics.
