(SG Seller) Repacked Japan Pumice Stone (HGL)

GENERAL INFORMATIONPumice is fascinating stuff, borne out of the superheated earth.It is basically whipped volcanic glass that is made up of tiny air bubbles.This means that pumice is a lightweight volcanic rock that makes it perfect for use as a soil amendment.The airy rock is ideal for use with cacti and succulents as well as other plants that require excellent drainage and air circulation.Plus, the porosity of pumice allows microbial life to thrive while maintaining soil structure better than perlite.Planting with pumice also has the advantage of a neutral pH along with a variety of trace materials.BENEFITSIt 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.APPLICATIONTo 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.
