VERMICULITE & PUMICE 50/50 - Eco Box (10L & 20L)

Vermiculite and pumice are natural materials commonly used together in gardening and horticulture. Vermiculite is a lightweight mineral that absorbs water and nutrients, improving soil drainage, aeration, and moisture retention.
 
Pumice, on the other hand, is a porous volcanic rock that enhances soil structure by promoting air circulation and water absorption. When combined in a 50/50 ratio, this mixture creates a well-balanced growing medium for plants.
Perfect for seedlings, aquaponics or plants that require good drainage.
 

ECO BOX

Introducing our new eco box - a sustainable solution for gardening enthusiasts! This innovative product incorporates 100% biodegradable materials, ensuring minimal impact on the environment.

The soil mediums are firstly packaged in a plant-based bag, which decomposes naturally and placed in recyclable cardboard box, further reducing its environmental footprint.

Let's embrace sustainable practices together and make a positive difference!

*Please note: The nature of fully compostable materials means that they will naturally degrade over time. To ensure full product performance, please avoid bags from moisture, high temperatures, sunlight, and store in a cool dry place.

BENEFITS
