Are you into natural gardening, or know someone who is? Looking for a unique way to display your succulents in their native habitat?

These are NOT generic photos - this is the actual rock you will receive when ordering! And all orders are shipped within one business day, cost included! Also known as "scoria" or "cinder", it was hand-picked directly from the Springerville Volcanic Field, near the White Mountains of east-central Arizona.

At roughly 7" wide and standing a prop-aided 8" tall, this red / reddish-brown lava rock tower offers a number of deep crevices and holes along its surface. You'll also see pockmarks in a variety of shapes and sizes. These features would make it an ideal planter ... perfect for small succulents, air plants, or certain varieties of epiphytics.

Scoria's most recognizable feature are the pockmarks appearing all along the surface. When they were first expelled from volcanoes that were active here over a half million years ago, hot gases were captured within the molten lava and trapped as it cooled, leaving thousands of tiny "pores" within the rock itself.

These pores offer natural benefits that help certain varieties of succulents to even thrive compared to other planting methods. They allow air to pass to their shallow roots, while retaining moisture as water easily drains. Their native roughness offers a place for plants to grab hold and take root, too (it even promotes greater root growth and expansion). And the rock surface retains heat long after the sun sets, offering natural protection.

Spokesmodel Woody implores you to get in on the rocky action at Arizona Lava Rocks! We handpicked this gem because we thought it rocked! Remember, the rock in this listing is the one you'll receive. Check out our other listings too, as our stock keeps rollin' in!
