Pumice Sand 14L (No. 1 Fine Grain 1-3mm) (Imported from Japan)

Description BENEFITS It reduces water runoff and fertilization by increasing soil absorption in sandy soils. It absorbs excess moisture so roots don’t rot. It improves aeration and stimulates the growth of mycorrhizae. It doesn’t decompose or compact over time like other soil amendments, which means it helps to maintain soil structure. It keeps clay soils loose over time for continued soil health. It is a natural, unprocessed organic product that doesn’t decompose or blow away. APPLICATION To improve drainage for plants such as succulents, mix 25% pumice with 25% garden soil, 25% compost, and 25% large grain sand. For plants that are prone to rotting, like some euphorbias, amend the soil with 50% pumice or in lieu of amending the soil. Fill the planting hole with pumice so the roots are surrounded by it. Pumice can be used as a topdressing to absorb rainwater that puddles around plants. For potted succulents, combine equal portions of pumice to potting soil. For cacti and euphorbia, combine 60% pumice with 40% potting soil. A layer of pumice will absorb spilled oil, grease, and other toxic liquids. Once the fluid has been absorbed, sweep it up and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner.
