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
