Key Features:

  • Highly Porous Structure: The irregular, vesicular texture of volcanic lava creates numerous air pockets, promoting superior oxygen flow to plant roots and preventing waterlogging.
  • Excellent Drainage: The substrate allows excess water to drain freely, reducing risks of root rot and fungal infections.
  • Long-Lasting Stability: Unlike organic substrates, volcanic lava is inorganic and does not decompose over time, ensuring consistent structure and support for plant roots.
  • Natural Mineral Content: Rich in trace minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which can benefit plant growth.
  • pH Neutral to Slightly Alkaline: Suitable for most plants, providing a balanced growing environment.
  • Lightweight: Easier to handle and ideal for container gardening, hydroponics, bonsai cultivation, and green roofs.

Uses:
Horticulture & Gardening: Perfect for succulents, cacti, orchids, bonsai, and houseplants requiring well-drained soil.
Hydroponics: Acts as a sterile, inert medium for soilless cultivation.
Aquascaping: Used as a substrate in freshwater and marine aquariums to anchor plants and promote beneficial bacteria growth.
Landscaping & Drainage Layers: Employed in garden beds, green roofs, and drainage systems to improve soil structure and water management.
