Horticultural Pumice

Quality pumice in an ideal horticultural size. Pumice’s porous structure enhances drainage and encourages gas exchange to increase air porosity while also holding water and nutrients.

Pumice is a lightweight volcanic rock or lava. It can contain up to 70 trace minerals which nourish the plant over time. High grade pumice doesn’t decompose, discolour, or float like perlite. It also remains evenly distributed in the pot over time.

Most commercial pumice is of very low quality. A yellow colour, lots of dust, brittle pieces, and unstable structure are all indicators of low grade pumice rock not suitable for plants. Low grade pumice will degrade with watering clogging up the soil over time.

• Mixed into soil to allow for better drainage and nutrient retention with a slow release of nutrients over time. It can be used with any type of plant.
• Added as a top dressing to containers to help prevent rot at the base of the cactus / succulent.
