Composition
A highly mineral composition for plants sensitive to prolonged moisture
The very high pumice ratio creates continuous air spaces, while the small amount of worm castings adds nutrition without turning the mix into organic soil.
- 8 parts pumice: Forms the main mineral base with very fast drainage and aeration.
- 0.5 parts horticultural sand: Adds weight and smaller water paths around fine roots.
- 1 part worm castings: Provides a small bioactive organic base and gentle nutrition.
- Small amount activated carbon: Supports a cleaner root environment.
- Small amount lava gravel: Reinforces the stable mineral structure.
- Added organic nutrients: Complete the mix's small nutrient source.
Extreme drainage
The pumice base moves water quickly away from the plant's neck and roots.
Stable mineral texture
Pumice, sand and lava gravel maintain air spaces without forming a dense organic mass.
Limited organic base
The 1 part worm castings provides gentle nutrition within an otherwise highly mineral profile.
Repotting steps
For Lithops and Pleiospilos in a pot with excellent drainage
Use it straight from the package in a shallow pot with clear drainage holes. Watering must follow the species and its active growth cycle, not a fixed calendar.
- Lithops
- Pleiospilos
- Living stones
- Split rocks
- Shallow pots
Make sure water can leave immediately and the drainage holes are not blocked.
Carefully clean organic or compacted mix from the roots without unnecessary damage.
Fill around the roots and keep the base of the plant at the correct height.
Confirm that the mix is fully dry and the plant is in a growth phase when it needs water.
Complete drying is part of the care routine
Let the mix dry fully between waterings and adapt water to the seasonal cycle of the specific Lithops or Pleiospilos.

8 parts pumice, 0.5 part horticultural sand and 1 part worm castings, with small amounts of activated carbon and lava gravel, plus organic nutrients.
02Which plants or uses is it suitable for?
It is specifically designed for Lithops and Pleiospilos—living stones and split rocks that need a highly mineral, fast-drying mix.
03Does it contain nutrients?
Yes. It contains 1 part worm castings and a small addition of organic nutrients. Avoid unnecessary extra feeding and follow the species' needs.
04When should I water?
Only when the mix has dried fully and the plant is in an active phase that requires water. The seasonal cycle matters more than the calendar.
05Why does it contain so much pumice?
The 8 parts pumice create very fast drainage and stable air spaces, which Lithops and Pleiospilos need because they are sensitive to prolonged moisture.
