Red Lava Rock – 3/8" Minus, Unscreened

Natural Volcanic Rock for Bonsai, Succulents, Cactus, and Specialty Soil Mixes

Create your own custom soil blend with natural Cascade Mountain red lava rock. This unscreened material is suitable for growers who want to screen their own lava rock and select the particle sizes that best fit their projects.

Unlike our hand-screened lava products, this economical option comes directly from the quarry with a full range of sizes, from pieces up to 3/8 inch down to powder and fine particles.

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.
