PUMICE STONE (1/8"-1/2")
Pumice stone is created when lava is expelled from a volcano and begins cooling rapidly and dropping in pressure, this causes outgassing which creates little air bubbles throughout the stone. It is a lightweight, porous, long-lasting soil amendment. Our pumice stones come from a Canadian volcano located in British Columbia.
BENEFITS:
- Incorporated into soils it enhances aeration and drainage
- Similar to perlite but heavier so they don't float to the top of your soil
- Its porous structure retains water and nutrients
- Allows airflow around roots and spaces for beneficial microbes to thrive
- Stimulates the growth of mycorrhizae
- Does not compact or decompose over time, it builds long-term soil structure
- PH is neutral so it is ideal for growing any type of plant
