Product description
Product description Give desert plants the drainage they crave. Black Gold Cacti & Succulent Potting Mix is a ready-to-use, gritty blend of coco coir, coarse sand, perlite and a touch of compost formulated for rapid drainage, high aeration and balanced moisture. Excess water moves through quickly while a light moisture film clings to particles, so roots stay oxygenated and dry down predictably between waterings. Coir buffers moisture, sand and perlite open pore space, and gentle background nutrition from compost supports establishment without overwhelming tender roots. The result: firmer rooting, steadier growth and a cleaner watering window for indoor cacti, succulents and desert dish gardens. Ideal for houseplant pots, bowls, balcony troughs and repotting days across sizes 1L, 3L, 5L, 10L, 20L, 30L. Q: Is this mix suitable for indoor cacti and succulents that need fast drainage? A: Yes - its gritty structure with sand and perlite promotes rapid drainage and strong aeration for desert plants. Q: Do I need to add anything before planting? A: It’s ready to use. For heavy feeders, you can top-dress with a balanced fertiliser later, following label directions. Q: Can I use this for propagation and cuttings? A: Absolutely. The open structure helps cuttings callus and root while avoiding waterlog. Q: What pot type works best? A: Containers with drainage holes (terracotta, ceramic or plastic). Always allow excess water to run freely. Q: How often should I water? A: Water thoroughly, then allow the mix to dry down before the next watering. Frequency varies by plant, pot size and light. Safety Warning Keep out of reach of children and pets; not for human or animal consumption. Use in a well-ventilated area and avoid breathing dust—lightly moisten the cactus & succulent potting mix to reduce fines during repotting. Wear gloves and wash hands after handling any gardening compost or indoor plant soil. Avoid contact with eyes; if product gets into eyes, rinse cautiously with clean water. For container plants with drainage holes only—do not block drains with spent mix; dispose of responsibly. Store sealed, upright and dry, away from food and drink. If swallowed, seek medical advice and show the label.

I wrote to Bigamart's customer support and they accompanied the process of reshipping the item until it finally arrived. I felt a genuine effort to solve the problem till it was finally solved.
The package was here in Australia from England in a few days — so quick! Something was missing and they refunded it straight away. Pretty happy with these guys.
