How to Use Black Gold Natural & Organic Succulent & Cactus Potting Mix

• Choose Container: Choose a container slightly larger than the old. Make sure it has drainage holes and a bottom saucer to catch water. Cover large drainage holes with a piece of screen or pebble layer for mix retention.
• Transfer: Carefully tip and remove the plant from its old container, keeping its root ball intact. If plants are pot-bound, gently loosen the roots for better soil-to-root contact.
• Planting: Add a layer of mix at the bottom of the new container. Center the plant, and fully cover the roots with fresh mix, leaving a 1-inch space at the top for watering. Gently press the mix down and brush excess away from stems or leaves.
• Watering & Feeding: Cacti and succulents require moderate to low water, especially in the winter months, so allow mix to become mostly dry between watering times. Outdoor plants will require more water during the growing months. Feed plants regularly with a fertilizer formulated for cacti and succulents. Follow manufacturer's recommendations.
• Growing Environment: Research your specific plant's needs to give it the best possible care. Most indoor cacti and succulents prefer bright sunlight, average warmth, and low to moderate humidity. Outdoor specimens may require midday shade where summers are very hot and dry.
