Key Features:

• Natural Volcanic Product: Sourced from volcanic regions, this crushed lava stone, known as Fujizuna, is an attractive and sustainable addition to your gardening and aquarium needs.
• Optimal for Bonsai and Succulents: When combined with akadama and pumice, it forms an ideal medium that promotes aeration and prevents soil compaction.
• Enhanced Water Retention: Its high porosity allows for effective water and fertilizer penetration, making it a staple for those looking to optimize their plant growth.
• Longevity: This durable stone does not break down over time, ensuring that your growing medium remains effective for an extended period.

Perfect for Aquariums:

• Beneficial Environment: The porous structure promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, essential for maintaining water quality by removing nitrates.
• Natural Foraging: Small cavities in the stones provide a habitat for shrimp and other aquatic life, allowing them to forage for food.
• Ideal for Cichlid Enthusiasts: Its heavy nature ensures it won't float, making it an excellent choice for various tank setups.

Usage Tips:

For an effective growing mix, consider the 'Boon mix' (1 part small lava stone, 1 part small akadama, 1 part small pumice) - a renowned formula among bonsai enthusiasts. For increased water retention, especially with deciduous trees, simply adjust the ratios to include more akadama.
