Dosage and use
Preparation: before use, you can sift the pumice or rinse it lightly with water to remove transport dust – the mixture will be cleaner, and the pots will not get dirty during the first watering.
Substrate component: when preparing a mixture, add pumice at 20–40% of the volume (e.g. 1–2 l per 5 l of soil) and mix thoroughly with the other components. For succulents and cacti, feel free to use the upper end of the range; for vegetables and foliage plants, use the lower end.
Drainage: pour a layer of pumice into the bottom of the pot or planter box equal to approx. 1/4 of the container height, then place the actual substrate on top. After watering, water will drain downward, so the roots will not stand in wet soil.
Green roofs and mulch: add 30–40% pumice by volume to green-roof substrates. Spread over the soil surface in a 2–3 cm layer, it acts as mulch: it limits evaporation and makes weed germination more difficult.
