Grow Tropicals Lava Rock Fine: The Perfect Addition for Aroids and Vivariums

Grow Tropicals Lava Rock Fine is a versatile and natural addition to your aroid or vivarium setup. This high-quality lava rock is ideal for a variety of applications, offering superb drainage and beneficial properties for your plants and animals.

For Aroids:

• Super chunky substrate mix: For those aroids with thick, strong roots, lava rock is the perfect ingredient for a well-draining substrate mix. Its porosity allows for excellent drainage and aeration, ensuring healthy root growth and preventing root rot.
• Low-nutrient substrate: If your aroids prefer a low-nutrient environment, lava rock can be used as a standalone substrate. It provides excellent drainage and aeration without adding unnecessary nutrients.

For Vivariums:

• Drainage Material: Lava rock’s high porosity makes it an excellent drainage material for vivariums. It helps to prevent waterlogging and promotes healthy plant and animal life.
• High surface area: The uneven, porous surface of lava rock provides a massive surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize. These bacteria play a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle, converting harmful ammonia and nitrite into less harmful nitrate for healthy aquatic life.
• Filter media: Lava rock’s high surface area also makes it an excellent biological filter media for vivariums. It helps to remove toxins and waste products from the water, ultimately promoting a healthy and thriving ecosystem.
• Multiple uses: Lava rock can be used not only as substrate and drainage material but can also be used for landscaping and creating natural accents in your vivarium setup.

Additional Recommendations:
