I had owned several cacti & succulents for years but lazily left them in the soil that they originally came with and just gave them water. During that time there was no noticeable change in their size, not a single offshoot and they never flowered. I started to feel sorry for the little things and resolved to look after them better. A long time coming, I know! So, after some considerable research, I decided to order a bottle of Cactus Focus feed & soil.
Well. This stuff is AMAZING - I really cannot recommend it enough.
Within a week of their first feed they all became plumper, more colourful and were able to support themselves better. A couple of months later and they were outgrowing their pots and had more than doubled in size! Some even grew offshoots which I carefully transplanted and are thriving. November saw my Christmas cactus flower for the first time in the 5 years that I’d owned it - I squealed when I saw that the buds were a hot pink because I’d actually forgotten what it looked like when I’d bought it!
I was so giddy watching them change week by week, that I now make a point of buying the runty, half-dead cacti & succulents from supermarkets and nursing them back to health!
Cactus Focus is simple to use and great value for money. Simply dilute 5ml to 1L of water - so the bottle will last quite sometime. I also recommend their repotting soil (which is pre-treated with 2 months of feed) for excellent drainage.
