What is horticultural grit?
What is it and where does it come from?
Horticultural grit is sourced from natural deposits where it is extracted, crushed, washed and graded, it can be made from a variety of different rock types so colour can vary.
So what makes horticultural grit great for house plant soil?
- Has large particles that help improve the aeration and drainage of the soil.
- Helps prevent soil compaction by maintaining the structure of the soil. This allows plant roots to penetrate more easily and facilitates the movement of water and nutrients through the soil.
- Great for plants which require fast drainage like cacti and succulents.
- Looks great as a soil topper.
