Are you into natural gardening, or know someone who is? Looking for a unique way to display your succulents in their native habitat?
This is NOT a generic photo - this is the actual rock you will receive hotsell when ordering! And all orders are shipped within one business day, cost included! Also known as "scoria" or "cinder", it was hand-picked directly from the Springerville Volcanic Field, near the White Mountains of east-central Arizona.
With a base that's almost a foot in length and standing roughly 6" tall, this red / reddish brown rock offers a rough, craggy surface with several natural cracks, crevices, depressions, and large holes, along with pockmarks in a variety of shapes and sizes. Those features would make it an ideal planter ... perfect for small succulents, air plants, or certain varieties of epiphytics. Overall it would potentially make for a very unique display in your garden, indoors or out!
Scoria's most recognizable feature are the pockmarks appearing all along the surface. When they were first expelled from volcanoes that were active here over a half million years ago, hot gases were captured within the molten lava and trapped as it cooled, leaving thousands of tiny "pores" within the rock itself.
These pores offer natural benefits that help certain varieties of succulents to even thrive compared to other planting methods. They allow air to pass to their shallow roots, while retaining moisture as water easily drains. Their native roughness offers a place for plants to grab hold and take root, too (it even promotes greater root growth and expansion). And the rock surface retains heat long after the sun sets, offering natural protection.
At Arizona Lava Rocks, we know how to rock! Like all of our listings, this rock was picked up because something about it caught our eye. Again, this listing is for the specific rock you see in the accompanying photos. Our inventory is constantly changing - please check out our other listings.
