 My Lychee seed blossomed with this! September 24, 2009
Kt
I did a lot of research to find a good potting soil that would support my Lychee plant that I am growing from a seedling.
I got it from a Lychee fruit that a girl brought in from work. As i've never had a Lychee fruit before, I was pleasantly surprised to find it was very tasty and a really neat looking seed was inside, and I decided to see if I could grow it. I looked up the plant online and saw that the plant itself was aesthetically appealing.
I sprouted it with the plastic baggie method, and then transplanted it into a pot with this soil. I read that Lychee likes soil with a high PH or Acid content, as this soil claimed to have.
I kept it in the shade and wow- just a week or two later it was growing upwards as a little stem! I have since been watering it once the soil is dry and moved it to a window with indirect sunlight.
The plant is doing great! The leaves are super green with no black edges, and it looks really healthy. Right now it has five big leaves and it's growing more. I have not even been fertilizing it or anything. I even missed watering it a few times and the plant still looks great. This soil was perfect and I give it an A+ to grow a Lychee seedling.
 Too much peat to use for Cacti & Succulents April 24, 2009

I bought this along with a bag of regular Scotts' Potting Mix. I was quite disappointed to see that it hardly looks any different than plain potting soil and that its chief ingredient is still peat. It says it contains "organic materials, sand, and perlite" that promote drainage, but I was really hoping for something closer to 50% sand and perlite, and the organics will break down eventually reducing drainage. I'm giving 2 stars because although its not pure peat, its just not the Cactus specific soil I was hoping for. I have an Aloinopsis schooneesii in it, too. I'll let you know how it does.
I feel this potting soil is poorly formulated for such a specific group of plants. You may read "Made of a mix of sand and Perlite organic material", but I'd strongly recommend further supplementing this soil with sand or fine rock if you choose to use it with your Cacti.
Best for cactus October 10, 2007

If you need soil for cactus this is the best. It feeds the cactus so you do not have to fertilize.
