With its highly porous structure, pumice enhances aeration and drainage while retaining just enough moisture to support healthy root development. Each stone acts as a micro-reservoir, holding water and nutrients which are released gradually into the surrounding soil. This steady hydration and nutrient delivery system reduces plant stress and promotes vigorous growth.
