There are many advantages to growing plants in pumice. It reduces water runoff and fertilization by increasing soil absorption in sandy soils. It also absorbs excess moisture so roots don’t rot. Additionally, pumice improves aeration and stimulates the growth of mycorrhizae. Pumice doesn’t decompose or compact over time like other soil amendments, which means it helps to maintain soil structure. It also keeps clay soils loose over time for continued soil health. Pumice is a natural, unprocessed organic product that doesn’t decompose or blow away.
How to Use Pumice in the Soil:
Adding as little as 10% pumice to any garden soil mix is enough to see the benefits. For succulents, use this for up to half of your potting soil media.
