Van Egmond Cactus Substrate 5L

Van Egmond Cactus Substrate is a peat-based potting substrate specially formulated for cacti and succulents.

Made with different types of Sphagnum peat and a high percentage of Irish White Peat Mulch, this substrate provides good moisture permeability while allowing oxygen to reach the roots. This is especially important for cacti and succulents, which generally prefer a well-aerated growing medium.

A percentage of fertiliser is also added to provide the right nutrients for early plant growth.
