The Monsoon Threat: High Humidity and Cold Wet Soil
During the rainy season, relative humidity often exceeds 85%. Because water evaporates very slowly from pots, ordinary garden soil stays saturated for weeks on end. Jade plants and succulents quickly drop leaves, turn squishy, and rot from the base upwards.
Succulent & Cactus Potting Mix
Fast-draining gritty mix to prevent root rot in succulents, jade, and cactus
- ✓ Zero waterlogging
- ✓ Enriched with perlite & volcanic pumice
- ✓ Pre-sterilized pH balanced
Step-by-Step Recovery Guide
Move your succulents to a covered balcony or window sill that receives bright indirect light but zero direct rainwater splashing.
Only water when lower leaves feel slightly wrinkly. Never follow a fixed calendar schedule during cloudy, rainy weather.
Our inorganic gritty blend ensures that even in 90% humidity, water exits through the drainage hole in seconds, allowing roots to breathe freely.
Don't wait until root decay reaches the central stem. Providing proper aeration and nutrient balance within the first 48 hours is the difference between losing a plant and watching it flourish.
