Pumice
PUMICE is a natural volcanic mineral with a light and porous structure. It improves the structure of soil and substrates, ensuring proper aeration, effective drainage and healthy root development.
Key benefits:
- Prevents standing water from building up.
- Improves aeration and oxygenation of the roots.
- Retains moisture and nutrients, releasing them gradually.
- Keeps the soil light and limits compaction.
- Stabilizes the temperature around the root system.
- Remains durable and stable over time.
What is it used for?
Ideal for creating a drainage layer at the bottom of the pot, as well as for mixing with soil or potting soil. It helps improve the structure of the substrate and creates a balanced growing environment for the roots.
- Pots
- Planters
- Garden planting
- Substrate mixes
What does it contain?
Natural volcanic mineral
The porous structure of pumice helps air circulate and excess water drain away. At the same time, it retains some of the moisture and nutrients, releasing them gradually to the roots.
Natural Pumice
For best performance
For pots
Place an even layer of pumice at the bottom of the pot, then add the appropriate potting soil. This makes it easier for excess water to drain away.
For mixing with substrate
Mix the pumice evenly with soil or potting soil to improve the aeration, drainage and structure of the mix.
For garden planting
Work the pumice into the soil of the planting area and place the plant carefully. Fill in with soil and water sufficiently.
