    Description

    Pumice is a lightweight, porous volcanic rock that makes an excellent horticultural soil component because it improves drainage and aeration while still helping the root zone hold a balanced amount of moisture. Its rigid, irregular particles create long-lasting air pockets that reduce compaction, allowing roots to breathe and lowering the risk of waterlogging and root rot, especially in containers and heavier mixes. Unlike many organic amendments, pumice doesn’t break down quickly, so it keeps the structure of a potting mix stable over time and maintains consistent performance across repeated watering cycles. Because it’s inert and typically pH-neutral to slightly alkaline depending on the source, it’s a reliable way to “open up” mixes for houseplants, succulents, aroids, and other plants that thrive in a free-draining, oxygen-rich substrate.

    When to Repot

    Our plants and mosses are hand selected at local growers with the utmost care and love. Here, they are grown in the most sustainable way possible. This way, the plants in your glass bottle are guaranteed to thrive together and you will enjoy your personal ecosystem with plants for many years to come. 

    We learn by doing. By creating your own terrarium with plants in a bottle yourself or with your children you learn about the various facets of the earth and thus the basis of our living existence in a creative way. Stone, potting soil, roots, plants, water and recycling all come together in this creative eye-catcher for your home.

    Getting to Know your Orchid

    Orchids are elegant, slow‑moving plants that reward attention with extraordinary blooms, and understanding them begins with knowing how they grow. Most orchids are epiphytes, meaning their roots are built to breathe, absorb light, and take in moisture from the air rather than sit in dense soil. When you give them bright, indirect light, airflow, and a fast‑draining medium, their needs become beautifully simple. Over time, you’ll learn their rhythms — firm leaves, plump roots, and steady new growth all signal contentment. With patience and the right environment, your orchid will settle in, store energy, and bloom in its own time, bringing a sculptural, living presence to your home.
