Just potted my peyote cactus
Review by Michelle H. on 3 Mar 2025 review stating Just potted my peyote cactus
Just potted my peyote cactus and elephant ear succulent into this, and it seems perfect! The mix has a great balance of drainage and aeration, plus it looks really nice. I’m sure my plants will thrive in it. Highly recommend!
