Volcanic lapilli brown

Brown volcanic lapillus is a natural material of volcanic origin, with a porous, lightweight and durable structure, ideal for improving drainage and aeration of substrates for both potted plants and open-ground cultivation.

Thanks to its mineral composition and irregular surface, brown lapillus promotes air circulation, reduces waterlogging and improves soil stability, keeping the substrate healthy over time.

Available in different grain sizes and in various package formats, it is suitable for both hobby and professional use.
