Zeolite 4–6mm is a premium, mineral-based soil amendment designed to improve drainage, enhance nutrient retention, and maintain long-term soil structure without degradation.
This larger grade is ideal for plants with more robust root systems and is a favorite among bonsai, succulent, and cactus growers seeking a dependable, long-lasting aeration component.
Thanks to its high cation-exchange capacity (CEC), zeolite acts like a slow-release sponge, absorbing excess nutrients and minerals and gradually making them available to roots and beneficial microbes. Perfect for use in containers, no-till beds, or as part of your custom soil mix.

FAQs
What’s the ideal use for this size zeolite?
This 4–6mm grade is best suited for mature succulents, bonsai, and cactus, especially where enhanced drainage and structure are key.
Is zeolite reusable or long-lasting in soil?
Yes, it does not break down over time, making it perfect for no-till gardens and long-term container growing.
Will this help reduce fertiliser use?
Absolutely. Its high cation-exchange capacity helps trap nutrients and release them gradually, reducing leaching and nutrient waste.
