Succulent and Cactus Bonsai DIY Rocks, Black Galaxy, for Terrarium, Fairy Gardening, Top Dressing, 1.5lb

I’ve ordered this in the black galaxy, the bonsai gritty mix, and the Green Zeolite.The black galaxy is a great, small grain top dressing. 5 starsThe Green Zeolite i also got for use as a top dressing- it looks great, however the particles are rather large and many of the pieces have really sharp edges. I’ve lost 4, two to three year old lithops that were previously healthy as can be due to this top dressing bruising/damaging the lithops bodies which could not be seen until they were stained green and ridden with rot. Maybe it would be great for a hardier plant, but i won’t be using it for fleshy plants such as lithops or succulents anymore. 2 stars- i don’t recommendThe bonsai gritty mix is mostly great, however it unfortunately also contains some Green Zeolite with sharp edges. One of my echeveria cuttings took to it well and rooted quickly, however i sadly lost another large lithops due the green zeolite- so use with caution around soft, fleshy plants. 4 stars.

I wanted some white rock for my new succulent/air plant planters. they make the plant stand out.The bag is very small and I filled the planters with some foam in order tu use less rocks. I'm happy with the result.

* These gritty mix stones are good for small pots to maintaining soil moisture.* One bag get me 6 different 5" pots covered well with these.* These will help to keep soil moist in winters for indoor plants when heaters will be running all day.* Also will help to stop fungus growth in indoor plants.

Really happy with this product! I ordered the white and put a very thin layer on top of my succulents, I was able to cover about 13 plants in 3” pots.

Lock down has brought out the gardener in me. I'm attempting to grow lithops in a couple of terrariums. They need a specific environment and their colors can be a bit muted. This solves both issues. The soil is well draining but not gravel, and the color will make them and the river stones I collected pop. The texture is nice and they're almost shiny. Really beautiful and not a ton of detritus mixed in. It arrived quickly in secure packaging. Remember it's rocks though so the 'by weight' measurements might throw you off a bit. It's probably 2.5 cups of material per bag if that helps. I needed two full bags for the two smallish terrariums I have. Worth it though, it's stunning!

I am new to having indoor plants. I decided to get these rocks to add a little home decor into our new home. I like the color and size of the rocks. They looked very nice at first. It took about a week for them to turn a yellow/brownish color when putting them on top of soil. I put some of them in a jar for my bamboo plant. I love that look. If doing that I recommend rinsing the rocks off before that otherwise the water and stems of the plant turn a whitish color.

Last fall, with extreme effort, I tried to get rid of fungus gnats.The end result was throwing out all my plants.😓 Much to my dismay, the little ****ers are back this summer SO..Rescreening windows with screen for small insects.Spraying the yard with insecticideAnd topping off the new plants with these after scooping out a layer of dirt. Important to know that water filters through these quickly.I just wish bigger amounts were available for purchase.

This is great top dressing! I'm excited to use it, and might try different colors.
