Kobohayachine Fireproof Pumice Pots, Medium - For Growing Wildflowers, Bonsai, and Succulents, Set of 2

The coolness of the alpine breeze blowing across the ridgeline... The scent of rising mist... It's as if you can hear the murmur of a deep mountain stream... Why not try growing wildflowers in a pot made of fire-resistant stone?

There are many types of fire-resistant stone, some of which float and some of which do not. The high-quality fire-resistant stone used at Studio Hayachine has a high air content, making it floatable, and offers excellent insulation, breathability, and moisture permeability. Of particular note is its breathability and the cooling effect of its evaporative cooling. While alpine plant cultivation manuals recommend "cultivating in well-drained soil," the ability of fire-resistant stone to evaporate water from the entire pot, combined with the evaporative cooling and well-drained soil, cools the plant's roots and makes it ideal for combating the summer heat.

The stone's breathability and water retention make it ideal for moss to take root, allowing you to create wildflower pots that evoke the image of deep mountains and valleys. - Use soil with good drainage that washes away fine particles and prevents clogging. Use sphagnum moss or similar.
