Red Lava Rock – 3/8" Minus, Unscreened
Natural Volcanic Rock for Bonsai, Succulents, Cactus, and Specialty Soil Mixes

Handling and Storage
If the lava rock dries before use, lightly moisten it to help prevent dust from forming.
Avoid inhaling dust from rock and potting-soil products. Dust may irritate people with sensitive lungs. Handle carefully and avoid creating airborne dust.
