In addition, it can be used in organic farming in accordance with current European regulations and its packaging contains at least 51% recycled plastics.

Ideal for repotting and planting in pots

When repotting your cacti or succulents, use a slightly larger pot than the previous one. Place a base of substrate, place the plant, and then top up with this special potting soil. This method promotes root aeration and limits water stagnation, a crucial step for plants prone to excess humidity. The 20-litre Cactus Substrate Or Brun also ensures a regular supply of nutrients, thanks to its integrated organic fertiliser.
