GREAT dirt mix for cactus and succulents!

This is a great dirt replacer for starving succulents! It's made mine green up and I can actually see a little bit of brown disappearing. I have had this one little cactus for about 10 years now that has grown LONG and reaching for more dirt. It's made me sad. I have also looked a few times for a good dirt but never purchased any. My first thing I loved was that the bag was Resealable! I have so many kinds of dirt that spill all the time in my greenhouse and I WISH they were all resealable. This was a really sandy, grainy texture but mixed with potting soil, maybe? I covered my poor little cactus up (the cat had emptied some out also) and also add some to my other succulent. I wanted to give it some time and water it to see if I noticed anything. After about a week and a half, my starving cactus definitely had more green to it and some of the brown was looking for yellow, so it's slowly healing. I don't know how far it will go but I would definitely recommend. It drains well and is apparently full of nourishment for these kinds of plants.

Love this soil!

Like the regular Rosy Soil mix, the Cactus and Succulent Mix was a pleasure to use. I love that the packaging has so much useful info. I’ll be purchasing both products again.

Cactus are now growing like weeds

I couldn't get my cactus seeds to grow further than sprouting. I replaced some of the soil they came with to the Rosy cactus and succulent sail and they took off! Before and after pictures are attached. This product is very easy to use. Genius that the bag is easily resealable!

Obsessed

The quality of Rosy Soil is truly unmatched. I trust their ethos. When I saw they had a cactus + succulent mix it was no brainer to purchase.

I've got rescue plants, props and my OG's in this mix and so far I'm seeing growth and a stress free plant fam. Keep the goods coming, Rosy!

Finally, succulent soil from Rosy!!

As a longtime purchaser of Rosy's indoor soil mix, I was thrilled to see them release a new soil mix for my cacti and succulents! My plants are thriving with Rosy like they haven't before, and I'm so happy to support a company with such a strong devotion to environmental causes. Win-win!

FAQs

Peat moss has been a common ingredient in commercial potting mixes since the 1960s. However, it's obtained by extracting peat bogs, which are vital ecosystems that store carbon. At Rosy, we believe there's a better way. So, we've developed our blends with alternatives that are effective and sustainable.

Rosy’s indoor potting soil is all-natural, peat free, and made from biochar.

We’ve consciously sourced our ingredients not only because they’re great for your plants but also because they’re good for our planet.

Unlike traditional potting soil ingredients that are environmentally taxing, our biochar potting mix only contains natural and carbon-negative amendments.

Read additional information about Our Mission.

We use carbon-negative, organic ingredients to create the best indoor plant potting mix.

Typically, these organic materials are sent to a landfill, where they release methane and CO2 — two potent greenhouse gases. But by redirecting these organic materials from landfills and stabilizing their carbon structure, we prevent the release of those greenhouse gases.

Essentially, we turn our house plant soil into a carbon sink, which means it helps to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

Discover more about what we mean by Earth Positive on Our Mission page.

Yes! You can add Rosy to your current houseplant potting soil — whether it’s an inorganic or organic potting soil mix, cactus or orchid mix, or otherwise.

Doing so will help you refresh your old soil and revive its benefits for plant care.

Alternatively, you could directly replace your current houseplant soil mix with Rosy.

You can use Rosy indoor soil for plants like:

Tropical plants (monstera, money tree, ZZ)

Philodendron

Pothos

Trailing plants

Ferns

Why is it the best soil for these plants?

Rosy is a well draining potting soil, offering an optimal balance of drainage and moisture retention. Plus, it’s fertile and supports beneficial microbes, which help your indoor plant thrive.

Our 8 Quart bag of Rosy indoor potting mix will fill:

4 to 6 medium 6" pots

Our 4 Quart bag of Rosy indoor potting mix will fill:

2 to 3 medium 6" pots

And unlike traditional indoor potting mixes, you won’t need to replace the soil every year due to compaction.
