It’s very cute, but glazed clay can be rough for cacti. It doesn’t allow the water to evaporate quickly enough and can cause root rot. If you do use it, use a very gritty soil mix for cacti, water very rarely when completely dry, and keep in a sunny spot.

To piggy back off @MamaLinne , you can use some bonsai jack succulent mix. I like to order a bag and mix some soil into it so it holds a little moisture. The mix is soilless so that’s why I add some organic matter to it. If I mix the bonsai jack mix it’s like 70% bonsai jack and 30% miracle grow succulent mix

@HoyaUniqua I’ve heard great things about bonsai jack, but haven’t tried it yet!

@MamaLinne it really doesn’t hold water. Well, on a molecular level I’m sure it does inside the pores of the minerals in the mix. So that’s why I like to add a little bit of whatever soil. But it’s super helpful because you know how lots of people have a hard time with rotting cacti and succulents.
