“Rock” is the soil mix with optimum drainage. Water runs through the medium and the roots and drains out almost immediately. It’s most suitable for plants which are sensitive to water and gets root rot easily. The colour of the soil mix helps to prevent over-watering as well. It turns light brown when it’s dry, and dark brown when it’s wet. That way, it’s clear when you have to water your plant.

The difference between “Tiny Rock” and “Rock” soil mix, only lies in the size of the individual grains. The materials used are the same. For e.g., in “Rock”, 3-5mm akadama is used, whereas in “tiny rock”, 2-3mm akadama is used. “Tiny rock” can be used for smaller plants. With the smaller spaces in between the grains, it can hold the plant more stably and prevent it from moving around during commuting. It can also help these smaller plants to absorb the water better as the roots become closer to the grains. In comparison to “Rock”, “Tiny rock” drains slower, so you can use it for succulent plants which require more water, e.g. haworthia.

Suitable for: Smaller sized cacti, dorstenias, phyllanthus, succulents, stephanias & haworthias
