Description
100% UNIVERSAL MINERAL SUBSTRATE FOR SUCCULENTS AND CACTI
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
-
100% mineral material
-
specially formulated for the healthy and vigorous development of all types of succulents and cacti
-
sterilized against pathogens
-
does not contain toxic substances or weed seeds
-
excellent water drainage properties and ensures good root aeration
-
significantly reduces the risk of bacteria and fungi
-
promotes extremely rapid drying of the substrate
-
contains beneficial oxides for plants
-
contributes to soil microbiology development
-
supports root system development
COMPOSITION:
- Approximately 50% volcanic rock
- Approximately 30% pumice
- Approximately 10% zeolite
- Approximately 5% activated charcoal
- Approximately 5% vermiculite
Quantities have a margin of error of +/- 2%.
The substrate has a moisture content of less than 5%.
COMPONENT DETAILS:
1. Volcanic Rock (2-4mm)
We use volcanic rock from Italy due to its high porosity compared to other volcanic rocks from various origins.
Characteristics:
• Very good drainage
• Rapid drying
• Ensures air circulation and prevents root rot
• Regulates and maintains an optimal pH for plants
• Contains essential minerals and nutrients for plants
• Increases resistance to pests and fungi
• Decomposes very slowly compared to other volcanic rocks (such as akadama, kanuma, kiryuzuna, etc.), promoting the longevity of the substrate
• Favors root development

2. Pumice (2-4mm)
We use pumice for its high porosity (even higher than volcanic rock), for its lower weight and density, and for the variety of minerals and nutrients it provides.
Characteristics:
• Excellent drainage
• Rapid drying
• Optimal root-level aeration, preventing waterlogging and root rot
• Neutral pH: maintains a stable pH in soil
• Low water retention
• Increases resistance to pests and fungi
• Promotes root development
AVERAGE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS:
3. Zeolite (3-5mm)
4. Activated Charcoal (3-5mm)
We use bamboo activated charcoal, considered a superior quality alternative with visible results compared to charcoal made from other types of wood, coconut shells, etc., to improve air circulation and significantly reduce the risk of diseases and pests.
Characteristics:
- Its unique porous structure ensures better air circulation at the root level
- Reduces the risk of root rot in situations of excessive watering
- Ensures better soil quality overall due to the large contact surface of the pores
- Reduces toxin levels in the soil by absorbing harmful or foul-smelling substances, heavy metals, and pesticides, thus ensuring soil suitable for plant development
- Stabilizes soil pH, preventing fluctuations
- Retains essential nutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium, improving soil fertility and reducing the need for fertilizers
- Contains trace elements not found in other types of activated charcoal
- Increases microbial activity, providing an ideal habitat for beneficial microorganisms in the soil, contributing to nutrient circulation and overall soil quality
- Helps aerate the root system
We use vermiculite for its ability to retain and gradually release water and nutrients when needed, and for soil erosion control.
Characteristics:
- Ensures water retention
- Aids in root system aeration
- Gradually retains and releases nutrients
- Maintains a neutral pH
- Promotes root development
- Facilitates germination
- Very lightweight
- Protects roots from temperature fluctuations
- Prevents soil erosion
