🌵 Desert Bloom Mix

Fast-Draining Living Soil for Cactus & Succulents

Desert Bloom is a biologically active, fast-draining soil blend designed specifically for cacti, succulents, and drought-tolerant plants.

Built with our slow-produced worm castings, biochar, sand, bark fines, and mineral-rich amendments, this mix delivers the drainage desert plants need — without sacrificing living soil biology.

Ideal for indoor and outdoor succulents, cacti, and moisture-sensitive plants.


⭐ Why It Works

Fast Drainage, No Root Rot
Sand, bark fines, vermiculite, and biochar create a porous structure that prevents compaction and allows excess water to move through quickly.

Slow-Produced Worm Castings (6–9 Months)
Our worms process clean food waste and wood chips over 6–9 months — producing biologically rich castings that support root health without overwhelming delicate desert plants.

Stronger Root Systems
Mycelium supports nutrient exchange at the root level, helping plants establish deeper, more resilient root structures.

Balanced Nutrition Without Overfeeding
Compost and castings provide steady, natural nutrients designed for steady growth — not soft, overwatered growth.


🌿 Ingredients

  • Worm Castings (produced over 6–9 months using clean food waste &  wood chips)
  • Biochar
  • Sand
  • Bark Fines
  • Vermiculite
  • Rich Compost
  • Mycelium

No synthetic fertilizers. No peat-based shortcuts. No fillers.


🛠 How To Use

Repotting Cactus & Succulents
Use as a complete soil replacement when repotting. Gently remove old soil, place plant in container, and fill with Desert Bloom mix.

Refreshing Existing Pots
Remove top 1–2 inches of old soil and replace with fresh mix.

Propagation & Cuttings
Use for leaf or stem propagation to encourage root development while maintaining proper drainage.

Outdoor Containers & Rock Gardens
Use as a base soil blend for drought-tolerant landscaping.

Water thoroughly after planting, then allow soil to dry fully between waterings.


🔄 Use It When You Notice

  • Mushy stems or root rot
  • Soil staying wet too long
  • Compacted potting mix
  • Slow growth in succulents
  • Overwatering damage

♻️ Made Locally in Small Batches

Our worm castings are produced slowly over 6–9 months using clean, high-quality inputs — not rushed through short production cycles. Every batch is mixed locally in small quantities to ensure quality, drainage balance, and living soil performance.

Because desert plants need drainage — but they still deserve real biology.

Worked well near the equator
Style: SPF 50
I bought this product because I was going to be in the field for a month, outside, every day, all day, in Tanzania at high altitude. A severe sunburn would be hard to treat in the remote area we were in, but also I am very careful about protecting my skin from aging. I had to have mineral based sunscreen because as a whitewater kayaker I know it’s the only truly water resistant kind and it was going to be sweaty. And since I knew I was going to be putting it on every day, and we didn’t have running water in the field (bucket showers only) I didn’t want it to feel gross. (I really wanted to try the spray but I didn’t want to put anything pressurized in my luggage.) And I had already discovered the Coola face sunscreen (30spf version) which had impressed me with how silky smooth and not greasy it is. Now this IS greasier because it is a higher SPF. BUT I think this product is as good as you’re going to get with the protection you’re getting. Like I said, I’m a white water tiger, so I have used a LOT of mineral sunscreens. This was hands down the most comfortable one I’ve used. And it was effective. I didn’t burn once—only time I did burn was when I forgot to put it on one day toward the end of the trip, when we were out for just a couple hours—and I got the first 2nd degree burn I’ve ever had in my life. That was what this stuff had protected me from, all day every day, the entire trip. I did tan a little but I think that was mostly from the few times I was not covered during short bouts or it was cloudy. For my face I used the Coola 50spf face product.

Love this stuff!
Style: SPF 50
I use this every day and I love how it is frangrance free and creamy. I have a very fair complexion and I will say it leaves a slight white cast but it doesn’t bother me because it almost makes my fairness more creamy looking. My skin texture has improved since wearing it daily and no allergies from it. I highly recommend especially if you have fairer skin otherwise it may leave a cast .

Excellent mineral sunscreen with minimal white cast.
Style: SPF 50
This is one of the healthier sunscreens I’ve found so far. You’re not likely going to find a mineral sunscreen that doesn’t leave some white cast. However, this one rubs in pretty good with minimal cast. You can dab on and rub in fairly easily… as long as you don’t use too much the white cast should be minimal. I am not sure how well this would work on darker skin tones. My arms are a medium skin tone… my legs are more of a light-medium tone. I prefer mineral sunscreens, and this is the best one I found so far and compatible to Supergoop mineral play. If you liked that one, you would likely enjoy this Coola one too.

Would not recommend
Style: SPF 50
I literally never write reviews but felt compelled to write one for this sunscreen because I was very caught off guard by all the positive reviews. This sunscreen leaves the most insane white sheen that never soaks in and gets on EVERYTHING. I put this on and drove to the beach and had sunscreen on my car seat, the steering wheel, the center console, the door, EVERYWHERE! It took forever to clean up and was such a hassle and that was after having let the sunscreen soak into my skin for an hour. Also the sunscreen is really thick and difficult to spread and makes you look ghostly white. Plus, the sunscreen has a really odd odor that reminded me of play dough? That might not be a negative thing for everyone but I found it unpleasant. There are definitely better mineral sunscreens out there. For the price I expected a much better product.
