Known as the "rock that floats", pumice has many tiny gaps or air pockets.
Our pumice is hand packed and bagged with a reusable tie for easy storage after you have used part of the bag. If
your pumice dries, moisten it to keep dust from forming. Dust from any
rock or potting soil product should not be inhaled and can be irritating
for people with sensitive lungs.
For
Gunnera, Giant Sequoia, Sophora, Daphne, Monkey Puzzle trees, Franklin
trees and other plants that are water sensitive use 30% of pumice to
mix.
For cactus and succulents add 60 - 80% of pumice to 20 - 40% organic matter.
For Bonsai soil mix use equal parts pumice, course compost, bark and black lava or course sand.
