Cactus Mix Peat-Free (MIX0425)

Peat-Free Cactus Collection – A Sustainable Mix of Texture, Form, and Flair

Bring a touch of the desert into your customers’ homes with this beautifully balanced, peat-free cactus mix, featuring four distinctive species selected for their unique character and striking contrast. This eco-conscious collection includes five each of Cleistocactus strausii, Parodia mammulosa, Opuntia tuna, and Mammillaria bocasana, all grown in responsibly sourced, peat-free compost – perfect for the environmentally aware plant buyer.

Cleistocactus strausii, often called the Silver Torch Cactus, adds vertical drama to the mix with its tall, columnar growth and fine silvery spines. It’s a statuesque specimen that thrives in bright light and brings an elegant, upright structure to any indoor display or succulent garden.

Parodia mammulosa offers a softer, rounded shape with gentle ridges and neatly spaced spines. This species often rewards with charming, daisy-like flowers, bringing a subtle pop of seasonal colour and a friendly form that’s ideal for compact spaces.

Opuntia tuna, the classic prickly pear, brings bold texture and unmistakable silhouette with its flattened pads and sturdy spines. Its rugged appeal and easy care nature make it a favourite for windowsills, conservatories, and modern container arrangements.

Mammillaria bocasana, also known as the Powder Puff Cactus, adds delicate charm with its fuzzy white appearance and halo of fine, hair-like spines. In the right conditions, it produces rings of soft pink blooms, making it a delightful addition to any cactus collection.

Together, these four species offer a striking blend of form and colour, from soft and rounded to upright and architectural. All thrive in free-draining, gritty soil with minimal watering and plenty of sunlight – perfect for low-maintenance plant lovers. Supplied in a peat-free medium, this mix is also ideal for retailers looking to support sustainable gardening practices without compromising on quality or visual impact.

Whether sold as a set or individually, this cactus mix is perfect for gift collections, desert-themed displays, and houseplant ranges looking to offer something bold, diverse, and eco-friendly.
