Pumice Stones for Garden / Horticulture (Soil Amendment), Size: 4-8 mm, Weight- 900 Grams

Pumice stones have been successfully used in Bonsai plantation and other plants in Japan for a long period. Pumice stones are made from volcanic rocks and therefore they are not found naturally in India. These stones are imported from other countries where Volcanoes are available. Use of Pumice stones in potting mix of garden plants is considered as the best choice because it’s fully organic. For organic farming, use of these stones is increasing. Pumice stones have porous composition and they are much lighter than ordinary stones. They contribute in soil aeration also. Pumice improves the quality of soil because of its porous properties. They retain moisture in optimum quantity and absorb needful nutrients for continuous supply to plants roots.  Pumice stones ensure proper drainage in soil. All nutrients can be stored in the small holes for continuous supply to plants.

Moreover, Pumice stones do not break down so easily. However, perlite breaks down in powder form easily and may clog the soil drainage. Due to these reasons, most of plant lovers prefer to use pumice stones in potting mix, instead of Perlite. It does not attract fungus or insects. Pumice creates ideal conditions for growing plants like Adenium, Cactus and succulents as it increases the water retention in soils and allow more transportation of needful gases for healthy growth of plants.

Pumice improves the quality of soil because of its porous properties and nutrients can be stored in the microscopic holes

Ph value of pumice is neutral, it is neither acidic nor alkaline. Pumice stones have a tendency to absorb atmospheric moisture, hence we may observe small droplets inside this pack, as a result of evaporation during hot weather. We have shown here all the 4 sizes of pumice available with us for reference of our customers. If size of Pumice rock is big enough (bigger than 15mm), we can easily see them floating over water due to light weight and availability of air cavities inside pumice rocks. But, if we break them into smaller pieces, air cavities of pumice gets filled up with water and find it difficult to float on water. Hence, if we are planning to buy pumice for pond or aquarium, we recommend to use pumice of 3 cm-5cm.
