Casa De Amor Pumice Essential Soil Amendment for Bonsai & Succulents Plants (2 KG)

Recived a genuine product.i will buy more again.

We all are familiar that perlite is added to growing media or even used alone as a potting media to improve airation of roots and promote easy water drainage. However many brands in the market contain very small particle size or even more of perlite dust which clumps on watering . This causes water logging and root rot. I always prefer this brand over others as its bang for the buck and provides large sized perlite with very minimal dust. I use it for my succulents along with pumice and sand and vermicompost in varying ratios. I have found very good results. Remember the key to good potting soil is that whatever ratio or material you use, after watering, the water should draing from the pot hole within 1 to 2 minutes. Most of the plants and succulents dont like wet feet. This perlite is just awesome

This is the perfect component to increase drainage in aroid mixes. I think some people may not prefer using it for cacti and succulents because the pieces are slightly larger than what you would use for those plants. However, this size is perfect for making aroid mixes for Philodendrons, Alocasias, Monsteras, Epipremnums, and other aroids/plants that need good aeration and drainage. This increases aeration in the mix by making it less compact, and it barely has any dust (if none at all) that you get in perlite (perlite dust is not safe for inhalation). Perlite is lighter and can gradually rise to the surface after every watering; this shouldn't happen with pumice. This is why pumice is better. I have lowered the rating by one star as it could be cheaper for the quantity provided.

Good substitute for small stones for aeration of soil, as it makes the pot soil light and helps in aeration of soil. Good for potting soils. Does not change pH of soil.

The quantity is good even after it being dusty which is natural almost every packaging causes movement during shipping which causes friction id suggest them to use smaller packaging as its can destroy pumice stone making it powdery

The size are quite big, Quite dusty hence have to filter the dust away or wash throughly. Product is good but as the size is quite big hence not useful for making succulent mix but makes an extremely good use for making aroid mix and orchid mix.

Bought it for a succulent soil mix, turned out great, absolutely no dust, the granules were a bit chunky tbh but that will help in aeration and quick drainage, v happy w the purchase Edit- ended up purchasing 3 more bags of this, turned out great every time, would recommend blindly to anyone looking for a soil amendment for aerating and quick drainage

The product is good and chunky, but it’s quite expensive compared to locally available options of similar quality. Consider buying it only if you can’t find it at a local nursery.
