-- Edit 2/7 --After doing another trial run with the soil, I've confirmed it's holding on to too much water for too long. I'm seeing a lot of other reviewers saying hopefully this soil will help their cactuses and succulents live longer because the soil retains more water. This just isn't true. You want the soil to have low water retention and be fast draining. Think about a desert. It's very different from a peat bog environment where peat moss comes from. Cactuses and succulents retain water in their stems and leaves. You don't want the soil to stay waterlogged.--I'm not an expert but I have a small cactus and succulent collection in a 10a/b zone. As I continue to learn about caring for them, I've been upgrading substrates so I wanted to try this out. From what I've read, peat moss isn't a renewable resource. It takes many millennia to form. I was hoping this was strictly a sphagnum moss medium, but wasn't sure. Bag says sphagnum, page says peat. I mean it could be a peat moss derived from sphagnum. Anyway, that's the first downside for me. It's not a sustainable resource.Second, I did more reading and cactuses and succulents don't benefit from peat moss, which is good at retaining water. While some cactus soils have peat moss, it's generally not ideal. The perlite helps but they really need something quick draining. This soil is very fine and somewhat gritty, similar to instant coffee but not as gritty as reconstituted coir. The perlite is quite small. I tested drainage in a clear nursery pot and it seems to perform okay, but I think it's due to the granularity of the soil as opposed to the chunkier, grittier mediums you find in nurseries. I'm on the fence due to texture alone.More not so great news. Peat moss can also be too nutrient rich and have too much organic matter for both. This is honestly my mistake for not educating myself more before getting this. It does say it has low nutrient components, but I'm not sure what that means in this case if it's 75% peat moss.Finally, what tipped this over to three stars for me is that it claims to be ideal for a number of different plants that have very distinct soil needs. That doesn't feel possible. Again, I'm not an expert but how can soil that's ideal for succulents also be great for bonsais? That's a bold claim. And at $8 for two quarts, it's quite expensive. Unfortunately, that's a no for me. I would not get this again.

This is a great product. I bought it along with another complementary product, very small pebbles. The little petals of a succulent that my friend gave me from his Momma succulent are doing great. Easy to work with. I will be planting more succulents using this product.Highly recommend!!
