## Description

Product description Black Lava Rock Lava rock is most commonly known for its exceptional draining characteristics, which makes it one of the cornerstones for nearly every bonsai mix. It plays an essential part in your soil mixture. Its porous characteristic allows air to enter your pot and aerate the root system, which is the key to a healthy Bonsai or any other container-grown plant. Lava rock is essential during the rainy season when it rains multiple times a day for a more extended time. It will never decompose. Lava is great for a variety of container-grown plants. Bonsai We recommend mixing the Black Lava with Pumice, and Pine Bark Fines, and Calcined Clay. Check out our most popular mix below. Cactus We recommend adding 50-80% of Lava to your favorite soil. Succulents For all other potted plants For all other potted plants, we recommend adding 50-80% of Lava to your favorite soil. Black Lava will improve water drainage and root aeration in any soil mix. It will also never decompose. It is sourced in the United States and is formed when volcanos erupt; in other words, It is naturally occurring. SOIL AMENDMENTS COMPARISON

Review: Great product - I use this for my homemade pon for my plants. It's very clean and perfect size!
Review: Black Lava Rock - I initially purchased this rock years ago to us in a bonsai but couldn't decide which plant I wanted so it sat on my potting bench for a year or two. Just recently I needed to re-pot a Christmas Cactus so I used the lava rock as part of the filler soil and spread the leftover on top. It works well for drainage and looks good as well. This purchase is for re-potting my plants in the future.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these be used in a planted aquarium?**
A: I would think so. I used it for a lava plant from Hawaii 😁

**Q: Can this be used to grow fruit plants, like blueberries? Is it nontoxic**
A: Yes, it can be used for that purpose, but there are other pine bark chips on the market. These are very fine/small and also is very expensive for the amount that you receive. I would only use these fine chips for special uses.

**Q: What mix do you recomend for pine trees in South Florida**
A: Hi, I would recommend our all-purpose bonsai soil mix.

**Q: What is the appx. PH?**
A: Good question! I would “think”it would be a neutral, as I don’t know how to test Ph of rock.  I use it only for extra drainage and aeration in my cactus and succulent mix. You may want to write to the company and ask before you buy, or run your own test if you have equipment. Please share info when you get it.
