Lava 8-16 mm

Lava is a porous material of volcanic origin, used in landscaping, gardening, and the construction of ponds and water basins. It is mainly composed of volcanic rocks that have a porous structure and a great capacity to retain water and air.

In gardening, pond lava can be used as an alternative substrate for plants, having advantages similar to other volcanic substrates, such as good water and air retention, neutral pH, and sterility.

Lava offers several benefits when used in the arrangement of aquariums or ponds:

1. Natural filtration: Due to its porous structure, pond lava acts as a natural filter, allowing water to pass through it while retaining impurities and large particles. This helps maintain water quality in ponds and water basins.

2. Habitat for microorganisms: Pond lava provides an ideal environment for the colonization of beneficial bacteria and other microorganisms that contribute to biological filtration processes and the balancing of the aquatic ecosystem.

3. Stability and durability: Pond lava is an inert and stable material that does not degrade over time, making it a long-lasting solution for the arrangement of ponds and water basins.

4. Natural aesthetics: Pond lava has a natural texture and color that blend well with the landscape and other elements of pond and garden design. It can be used to create waterfalls, banks, or to support aquatic plants.

5. Sustainability: Pond lava is a natural and ecological material, a more sustainable alternative to synthetic or non-renewable materials used in the construction of ponds and water basins.
