What makes me unique?

  • Cacti love being in a mix that lets water run past their roots instead of sitting in a waterlogged pot! This dry, free-draining peat free mix prevents overwatering and deters flies for healthier, happier plants!
  • Added zinc complex promotes more root growth into your new potting mix, faster re-potting establishment and also boosts plant resilience.
  • Enriched with sand, creating a high free draining, gritty mix for dry, healthy roots.

How does Seramis work?

Our unique Seramis granules absorb water and nutrients. They then release the water and nutrients when the plan needs it, keeping cacti hydrated and nourished.

Potting & Re-potting

  • Seedlings – Fill the pot or seed tray with potting mix and level off. Put seedlings into holes. Gently firm the potting mix, add a little more if necessary and water in.
  • Cuttings – Rooted cuttings should be potted on into individual pots or containers, taking care with fragile roots. For larger cuttings half fill a pot, place the plant in position and fill around the roots with potting mix. Gently firm mix and water well.
  • Re-potting – Water the plant and allow to drain before removing carefully from the pot using folded paper to protect your hands against spikes.
  • Put a layer of potting mix in the new pot and sit the plant on it. Fill the rest of the pot with potting mix, firming lightly around the root ball. Don’t water for a few days to prevent rotting of damaged roots.

Tips & Advice

  • Don’t let cacti go hungry. Packed full of all the essential nutrients your cacti need to thrive, feeding with Westland Cacti & Succulent Feed is the secret to lush, healthy plants.
  • Don’t let your cacti get stressed! Under or over watering your plants can often lead to pest and disease problems. Use a Westland Watering Indicator so you know exactly when to water, they change colour when your plant needs a drink.
  • Don’t use me with ericaceous plants.
  • Before use, re-work potting mix with hands to reconstitute
  • Use in a well ventilated place and avoid breathing in dust.
  • Wearing gloves is a good idea, and don’t forget to wash your hands afterwards.

    As the title states, I’ve bought this to re-pot one little Cacti seedling that managed to sprout. It seems to be doing great a week later. I have just sown a bunch more Cacti seeds, so I’m hoping those germinate in the next 2 months~ so I can get them repotting using this mix 🙂

    Bag arrived in perfect condition, so no complaints at all

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI found this to be great value for money, I had to divide my snake plant which is growing well but was very root bound and getting dehydrated. Repotted a week ago, no bugs, has a mixture of various things, retains water well, was really easy to repot, came in good condition. Initially a bit dry and on the pack it says not to water immediately after repotting but I would say do water it enough to settle the soil. Size was enough for one small plastic brown pot and one medium planter both with drainage holes in the bottom. Plants are doing great!
