Create your own bonsai and specialty planting mixes with clean, screened natural volcanic pumice from the Southern Cascade Mountains of Oregon!

This hand-screened pumice is a useful ingredient for bonsai soil, succulent mixes, cactus growing media, and specialty nursery blends. It contains clean pumice without rocks, roots, or other debris.

πŸŒ‹ Product Features

  • Natural Volcanic Pumice: Mined in the Southern Cascade Mountains of Oregon.

  • Hand-Screened: Rescreened to remove oversized particles.

  • Clean Material: No rocks, roots, or other debris.

  • Useful for Specialty Mixes: Suitable for bonsai soil, succulent mixes, cactus mixes, and other horticultural applications.

  • Reusable Storage Bag: Hand-packed in a bag with a reusable tie for convenient storage.

πŸ“ Understanding the Pumice Sizes

Pumice is naturally irregular in shape and size, so all particle measurements are approximate.

This product is screened from mine material supplied as 3/8-inch minus. It is rescreened to remove particles larger than 1/4 inch.

How the screening works:

  • Material that passes through the 1/4-inch screen but does not pass through the 1/8-inch screen is classified as 1/4-inch pumice.

  • Material that does not pass through the 1/4-inch screen is classified as 3/8–1/4-inch pumice.

The pumice is not perfectly uniform, and some particles may be slightly outside the stated approximate size range.

🌱 Uses

  • Bonsai soil and growing mixes

  • Succulent potting mixes

  • Cactus soil blends

  • Specialty nursery soil mixes

  • Custom horticultural growing media

Samples are a helpful way to inspect the actual particle size before purchasing a larger quantity.

πŸŒ‹ Natural Material and Size Variation

Pumice is a natural volcanic material known as the β€œrock that floats” because of its many tiny air pockets.

Please keep in mind:

  • Particle sizes are approximate because pumice is naturally irregular.

  • Material from different areas of the mine may vary slightly.

  • Pumice can gradually break down.

  • Some fine particles may develop during shipping.

Pumice is hand-packed in bags with reusable ties for convenient storage after opening.

⚠️ Handling and Dust Precautions

If the pumice dries before use, lightly moisten it to help prevent dust from forming.

Avoid inhaling dust from pumice, rock, or potting soil products. Dust may irritate the lungs, especially for people with sensitive respiratory systems.
