Jacks Gritty Mix, a universal gritty mix.  Our number one selling product. Ultra fast draining design helps prevent root rot and over watering. Contains no heavy potting soil ingredients such as sphagnum or peat moss.

Jack’s Gritty Mix is versatile and suitable for a wide range of plants. Some plants may benefit from the addition of potting soil or coco coir. For example, Bald Cypress thrives with 80% heavy potting soil and 20% Gritty Mix. Brazilian Raintree or Haworthia, on the other hand, may prefer straight Gritty Mix. Echeveria may require a 50/50 mix. The ideal mix varies depending on the plant, zone, and microclimate, ranging from 100% Gritty Mix to 5% Gritty Mix.

Each bag contains Monto Clay (montmorillonite), Bonsai Block (calcined ball clay), and Pine Bark Fines, with particle sizes ranging from 1/8” to 3/8”.
