Bulk 1 Yard Totes of Black Lava: 3/8" Minus Ever noticed how perlite seems to float to the top of your containers, leaving your soil uneven and your plants struggling? It can be frustrating watching your soil shift instead of staying exactly where you want it. 🌱 That's where our Small Black Lava Rock steps in. Screened to 3/8" minus and packed with natural lava rock powder, this mineral-rich alternative stays put, supports soil structure, and even feeds your plants over time. It's everything you wish perlite could be and more. Why Growers Love It Stays In Place No more floating perlite. This lava rock holds steady, keeping your soil layers consistent from start to finish. Boosts Soil Health The natural lava rock powder delivers a slow, steady release of minerals that enrich your soil and support thriving plants. 🌋 Lasts Longer Unlike perlite that can break down and lose effectiveness, this black lava rock stands the test of time in your containers or raised beds. 💪 Perfect Size Screened to 3/8" minus, these small to medium pieces look similar to perlite but perform even better and the "minus" means that the smaller particles like sand aren't screened out and this makes an excellent rock dust source for living soil and garden beds. Notice To Bonsai Growers You will want to screen out the perfect size pieces for your use and save the sand particles for your garden or potentially use for bonsai species that require more moisture holding like tropical bonsai.
