Red Lava Rock available in sizes of 3-6mm or 6-9mm, is a natural form of igneous rock formed during volcanic eruptions from basaltic magmas (flowing lava).Its high porosity naturally retains water and provides excellent drainage, making it ideal for plants intolerant to waterlogging, like cacti and succulents.Use it as a top mulch in potted plants to suppress weeds, pests, and fungi in the soil. It's also suitable for soil mixing, terrariums, and aquariums (wash and rinse before use).***Lava Rock is a natural product which may result in slight variations in formation, size, colour or shape...

Advantages of Pumice• Excellent soil amendment that is highly porous, increase aeration and drainage in soil.• Used as a growing medium for Soilless Culture.• The porous nature of pumice allows it to hold vital nutrients in the microscopic surface pores, which helps regulate fertilizer feedings. • Holds moisture in the soil, reducing watering requirements, yet pumice will not compact or become soggy.• Pumice is inorganic, so it will not decompose or compact over time, meaning that it functions continuously and can be recycled and reused.• pH : neutral.• Does not attract or host fungi, nematodes, or insects...

• Coconut chip or Coir Mulch is a cube form of coconut husk produced from the outer layer of coconut which consists of fibers and sponge-like pith particles. • High Water Holding Capacity - Coco chip is a completely homogenous material composed of millions of capillary micro-sponges, which absorb and hold up to eight times its own weight in water while still maintaining excellent drainage which provides more breathing space and aeration for plant roots.• Ideal pH value of 5.7 - 6.5• High Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) - Easily available water and nutrients assures that coco coir will hold and release water and nutrients into soil readily.• Lightweight - Holds 22% air even when fully saturated, hence reduce the weight of potted plants when used in soil mixes. • Excellent Drainage - Helps to keep the soil loose and ventilated, promote better roots growth and plant vigor.• Anti-fungicidal properties - Helps plant to get rid of soil-borne diseases, pest and fungi growth.• Great for Orchids , Bromeliads, Gerbera, Anthurium, Roses, etc• 100% Natural, renewable resource, and environmentally friendly.Size: 20-40mm (approx.)..

• Pine Bark is a lightweight mulching material made from shredded bark of pine tree. • The mulch improves soil aeration while retaining moisture and nutrients to feed roots and seedlings for maximum growth and yield. • It helps to suppress the growth of unwanted weeds and prevent soil erosion from heavy rain or daily watering on plants. • Suitable for all leafy veggies, fruits tree, and landscaping plants.SizesFine (approx. 7-15mm)Medium(approx. 15-25mm)Coarse(approx. 25-40mm)Gardening Tips: Use as a growing medium, simply soak in water for one night before application would be great. For mulching or putting at the base of a pot prior to adding potting soil (repotting), no need to soak in water.Read More: A Guide to 4 Common Mulches in Singapore..

Docto-lite VermiculiteDocto-lite Vermiculite is a special mica-like mineral (Iron, Magnesium, Aluminium, Silicate) that expands 15 times its volume when heated up to 900°C. As a result of this expansion, the water holding capacity and aeration of the plant roots of the compound are strengthened. Features• Seed emergence: Docto-lite accelerates germination and enhances plant development. • Hydroponic: Docto-lite Vermiculite, a permeable, sterile and lightweight aggregate, is a medium that can be used in hydroponic cultivation.• Rooting of seedlings: It accelerates rooting by providing optimum air and water balance in the environment where it is used.• Free from disease and weed.• Vermiculite has an insulating property that balances the soil temperature.• Long-lasting inorganic material, which is clean, odorless, and capable of keeping all the nutrients the plant needs.• Prevents algae growth.• Sizes - 1 - 4 mm (Approx.) pH 5.0 – 6.0 Grain Size 47.1% - 4.0mm screen top   49.8% - 1.4 - 4mm sieve   3.1% - 1.4mm under sieve Moisture 1.8% (± 1) ..

Rice hull (husk), a by-product of milling rice (Oryza sativa)• Lightweight• pH = Neutral• For potted plants - mix 10 - 50% rice hulls (depend on plant varieties) into the potting soil to improve soil aeration and porosity.• Rice hull provides a dense source of carbon which, when decomposed in soil, increases the water-holding capacity of soil, infiltration, and many other key benefits of soil physical characteristics.• Used as mulch.• Provide effective weed control when applied on top of the soil - ½ to 1-inch...

A naturally occurring volcanic glass that has been processed into a lightweight, porous material that is commonly used in gardening and horticulture. It is often used as a soil amendment to improve soil drainage, aeration, and moisture retention. Perlite is made up of small, white, porous particles that help to create air pockets in soil, which in turn improves soil drainage and aeration. When added to soil, it helps to prevent the soil from becoming compacted, which can lead to poor root growth and other plant problems. Perlite also helps to retain moisture in the soil, which is beneficial for plants that require consistent moisture levels. Perlite is particularly useful in container gardening, where soil tends to dry out more quickly than in-ground planting. It can be added to potting soil or used as a top dressing to help retain moisture and prevent soil from becoming compacted. Perlite is also commonly used in hydroponic gardening, where it is used as a growing medium instead of soil. Overall, perlite is a versatile and useful soil amendment that can benefit a wide range of plants and gardening applications.Sizes: 3-6mm (approx.)..
