How is Molly’s Succulent Mix different from typical “Big-Box” products?Updated 7 months ago
The main difference between Molly’s Succulent Mix and traditional soil-based mixes sold at big-box retailers is how each handles water drainage and general aeration. Traditional soil-based mixes tend to compact quickly since they’re made up of very small particles. As a result, they retain a lot of water which is not ideal for indoor container-based plants and especially succulents which are highly susceptible to root rot and other pitfalls associated with over-watering. Molly’s Succulent Mix is soil-free and designed to address the primary needs of succulents and other container-based plants that thrive in dry, arid conditions, by providing them with;
• Proper levels of moisture retention
• Space for free root, water, gas, and nutrient movement
• pH levels that support nutrient uptake
• An environment free of soil-borne diseases and pathogens
• Enough support to anchor the roots and the plant itself
