Zeolite is a natural mineral of volcanic origin with a microporous structure and high cation exchange capacity, ideal for improving drainage, nutrient management and root health in both potted plants and open-ground cultivation.
Its special structure based on chabasite allows it to absorb, retain and gradually release water and nutrients, reducing waste and making the substrate more stable and efficient over time.
Available in different grain sizes and in various package formats, it is suitable for both hobby and professional use.
Why use zeolite with plants
- ✔ Improves drainage and substrate structure.
- ✔ Retains nutrients and releases them gradually to the roots.
- ✔ Reduces waste of water and fertilizers, improving irrigation efficiency.
- ✔ Helps prevent rot and water stress.
Available grain sizes
- Fine (0,7/2 mm): ideal for soil mixes, sowing and plants with delicate root systems.
- Medium (2/5 mm): perfect for most repottings of ornamental, tropical, cactus, succulent and bonsai plants.
Ideal for
- Cactus and succulents
- Bonsai
- Ornamental and tropical plants, both in pots and in open ground
- Plants that benefit from more stable water and nutrient management
How to use it
- In the substrate: mixed with potting soil to improve structure, drainage and nutrient-holding capacity.
- Mixed with other aggregates: together with pumice and lapillus to create high-performance substrates.
- In variable percentages: depending on plant type and desired drainage level.
💡 Tip: Zeolite is especially useful for making the substrate more efficient and “intelligent”, because it regulates the availability of water and nutrients, reducing excess and improving plant health in the long term. Using zeolite you will reduce watering and fertilizations!
