This type of moisture retention is ideal for controlling drainage rates. One simply adjusts the stone size blend to dial up the desired drainage rate. This same structure provides the vital aeration spaces needed by roots to expel and absorb gasses.
Use as soil potting mix to achieve desired grittiness and soil-less medium.
Note:
1. 100% Pumice.
2. Mix the Pumice to your soil upon arrival of your order.
3. For greater aeration of your medium, a mixture of small and medium-size Pumice is recommended.
4. It can also be used as a topping for your pot/plant, it is lighter than pebbles or lava rocks. Not recommended for aquarium, pure Pumice will float underwater.
Pumice is a naturally-occurring (volcanic origin) foamed glass stone. On a micro level, pumice stones are sponge-like in form factor (riven with holes and hollows of various sizes) yet, being amorphous silica glass, doesn't absorb moisture and swell, but rather retains moisture by virtue of its physical structure.
