PRODUCTOS > PUMICE

Rock of volcanic origin (porous pyroclasts formed from molten lava), very light and porous. Mostly white or pale yellow in colour.

Pumice is a volcanic igneous rock with an extremely low density, composed almost entirely of volcanic glass, which gives it a felsic chemical composition (more than 63% SiO2) and light colours.

Uses: 

• Decoration and gardening. 
• Due to its lightness and water retention capacity, it improves the drainage of pots by absorbing excess moisture.
• Mixed with soil, it avoids soil compaction, thus allowing better oxygenation and looseness of the soil.
• Avoids water evaporation, protecting soil moisture, and prevents weed growth.

Benefits:

• Absorbs excess moisture
• Improves the drainage of pots by absorbing excess moisture and gradually releasing it
• Allows soil aeration
• Helps prevent weed growth
