Substrate for cacti and succulents - how to use

Before you plan to repot your cacti, do not water them for about 5-7 days beforehand to allow the substrate to dry out. Provide yourself with a suitable pick or thick gloves. When repotting cacti or succulents, do not remove any residual soil from between the roots. This will not damage their delicate structure. Remove overgrown, damaged or rotten roots with scissors. Put the cactus in a safe place for approx. 4-5 days so that the cut areas dry out.

Fill the bottom of the pot (depending on the size of the plant) with a layer of Cactus and succulent soil from Compo Sana of a few centimetres. Put the plant in and cover with soil so that it is stabilised. Do not use additional fertilisers.
