SIZE 1/8" avg grains, 1/4 inch down to fines (silt)
Units: 3/4, 1.5, 5, or 15 lb

The sand has been washed and sorted to remove foreign materials and any obvious light-colored chunks. This material is mined in northern Arizona, and characteristic of the region's material I have found some tiny bits of peridotite/olivine mixed in!

Black lava sand is finely crumbled volcanic rock. It is a key component of DIY Pon mixes for succulents, cacti, aroids like hoya and philodendrons, bonsai, and carnivorous plants. The fine gravel can also be used in terrariums and fairy gardens. It is a decorative lightweight top-dressing that helps hold moisture in soil. Alternatively, mix it into the soil like perlite for a lightweight grit.

There are many cacti and succulents that are happy to be planted directly in lava sand or lava rock mixed with other rock types to create an inorganic soil—it more closely mimics low-nutrient natural growing conditions. The porosity of volcanic rock keeps it lightweight, so roots stay airy and dry. At the same time the porosity retains moisture well similar to LECA, so lava rock soils drain immediately but light moisture remains available to the plant. This makes it much more difficult to lose a plant to the soggy conditions that cause root rot. (And dissuades fungus gnats!)

How much do I need? If you aim to use this as a potting medium, a 2.5" square pot holds about 4.75oz, and a 4" round pot takes about 15 oz.

3/4 lb - best for one or two plants, fairy gardens, testing out the substrate.
1.5 lb - best for small plant collections, mixing with other substrates, terrariums.
5 lb - best for more advanced gardeners and larger projects.

🌟 15 lb BULK size now available!

Almost perfect!
Color: Green
I'm going to be traveling for over 30 hours next week. I've had my eye on this bag for a few months and decided that it would be perfect for my bag I keep under the seat in front of me. I take as little onboard as possible. I check everything. This holds my 13" MacBook Air easily along with my makeup bag, regular purse junk with room left for a pile of snacks. It did have a strong odor when I took it out of the box but I've had it about a week and it seems to have disapated. I wish the handles were a little longer so I could throw it over my shoulder, I'm not someone who will use the strap. Straps and handles are just weird to me. There are tons of pockets though! Definitely a good purchase!

Beautiful Large Purse
Color: Light Brown
5 STARS !! Love this purse. I have had expensive name brands and this I has been my favorite. Love the size, the hardware, the long strap, stong handles, the feet on the bottom the color is beautiful. Great quality so far 6 months. Even got sprinkled on in the rain dried no spots. The large is large so if you like large bags it is it. I have always wanted a I guess you would call it a medical bag. As you can tell from this I really love the bag

Great choice
Color: Light Brown
I probably lost a good 40 bags in a house fire and am just now able to begin to replace them. I made a good choice starting with Iswee! The quality and craftsmanship is top notch! Easy to get into and find items right away! The leather is soft and sturdy and the color is great! I would have rather the hardware be done in an antique finish rather than a shiny silver but it’s okay. I’m going to enjoy carrying this bag! Thank you

YOU MUST BUY!!
Color: Green, Color: Green
Hello, This is the first ever review that I’ve ever written. I couldn’t wait for this bag to arrive, and it came today as scheduled. It IS THE MOST - ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL - as soon as I opened the packaging I could smell the leather! - the “colour” lol is RICH! I am a GREEN everything person, and this green is STUNNING! The QUALITY is great and appears to be VERY DURABLE. The inside is EXTREMELY roomy and deep, which is good for me because I’m lazy about zipping my purse up. BUT the zipper glides with ease. It’s a medium weight purse, so be aware of what you’re putting in there lol Value wise, it’s definitely worth the money and it looks MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE than it actually costs! I took the strap through and made it a shoulder strap also. I WILL definitely be buying the burgundy one next! Thank You ISWEE BOBBETTE
