SIZE 1/8" avg grains, 1/4 inch down to fines (silt)
Units: 3/4, 1.5, 5, or 15 lb

The sand has been washed and sorted to remove foreign materials and any obvious light-colored chunks. This material is mined in northern Arizona, and characteristic of the region's material I have found some tiny bits of peridotite/olivine mixed in!

Black lava sand is finely crumbled volcanic rock. It is a key component of DIY Pon mixes for succulents, cacti, aroids like hoya and philodendrons, bonsai, and carnivorous plants. The fine gravel can also be used in terrariums and fairy gardens. It is a decorative lightweight top-dressing that helps hold moisture in soil. Alternatively, mix it into the soil like perlite for a lightweight grit.

There are many cacti and succulents that are happy to be planted directly in lava sand or lava rock mixed with other rock types to create an inorganic soil—it more closely mimics low-nutrient natural growing conditions. The porosity of volcanic rock keeps it lightweight, so roots stay airy and dry. At the same time the porosity retains moisture well similar to LECA, so lava rock soils drain immediately but light moisture remains available to the plant. This makes it much more difficult to lose a plant to the soggy conditions that cause root rot. (And dissuades fungus gnats!)

How much do I need? If you aim to use this as a potting medium, a 2.5" square pot holds about 4.75oz, and a 4" round pot takes about 15 oz.

3/4 lb - best for one or two plants, fairy gardens, testing out the substrate.
1.5 lb - best for small plant collections, mixing with other substrates, terrariums.
5 lb - best for more advanced gardeners and larger projects.

🌟 15 lb BULK size now available!

Lovely dense and soft.
Color: Multi Color
Perfect toothbrush. I’ve always loved a super stiff toothbrush, it just felt right, like scrubbing the grime off. BUT, I ended up scrubbing my gums into recession. So I’ve had to buy soft toothbrushes. For years I’ve hated them. Waterpik, floss then brush and the brushing felt always felt like I wasn’t doing anything. I disliked everything about the bristles. These were bought on a whim, they’re pretty and have four which is how many I needed to replace everyone’s toothbrushes. I LOVE these. They’re definitely soft, in a way I haven’t felt before and can’t really articulate, but they’re also dense. There are a lot of bristles. The bristles feel like I’m getting my teeth very clean, like they’re getting into all the little areas they need to. The only issue I have is they squeak a little and that can be annoying.

My New Go-To for Gentle Everyday Care!
Color: White
I’ve been loving my Boka Classic Manual Toothbrush, it’s truly transformed my brushing routine! 🪥 The extra-soft, activated-charcoal-infused bristles feel so gentle yet effective, especially along the gumline. They clean thoroughly without scratching or irritating sensitive gums, which has made a noticeable difference in comfort and overall oral health.

Get Yourself A Bright White Smile
Can't belive how great this works. You can actually see the staining it removes when you expel to rinse. A bit messy to use all be it being a powder. The taste isn't bad. I believe this works better than the whitening stripe, which to me are difficult to use. Gentle on your gums and teeth. I do not recommend and do not believe the manufacture does either to use on a daily basis. A bit pricey but so are the whitening strips. For a bright white smile I recommend this product.
