Real grades. Bagged this week.

We buy by the yard, bag by hand, and stock small so nothing sits. Pick up locally at our Houston shop, or have it delivered anywhere through our eBay store.

Perlite #3

Aroids · Hoya · Propagation · Mix amending

Our standard aeration grade — the all-purpose size for amending mixes and general potting.

GRADE #3 · HONEST VOLUMETRIC FILL

$23.00 1 CU FT

Local pickup

Perlite #4

Chunky aroid mixes · Orchids · Structure blends

A step up in size from #3 — bigger flakes that hold air pockets open longer in chunky aroid and orchid mixes.

GRADE #4 · HONEST VOLUMETRIC FILL

$25.00 1 CU FT

Local pickup

Perlite — Fine

Seed starting · Succulents · Soil texture · Top dressing

Our smallest perlite grade — fine enough to blend invisibly into seed-starting and succulent mixes without disrupting root contact, while still cutting compaction.

FINE GRADE · HONEST VOLUMETRIC FILL

$12.00 1 CU FT

Local pickup

Horticultural Pumice

Aroids · Caudex plants · Succulents · Top dressing

Mineral drainage that never floats to the surface or breaks down. Volcanic pumice from the Rocky Mountain Mine in Española, NM holds air pockets open for years instead of collapsing like perlite fines.

1/4"–3/8" · PARTIALLY SIFTED · WILL NOT FLOAT OR COMPACT

$14.95 3 QT · $19.95 / 6 QT · $27.95 / ½ CU FT · $40.95 / 1 CU FT

Local pickup

LECA Clay Pebbles

Semi-hydro · Vivarium drainage · Terrarium base layers

Expanded clay for semi-hydro conversions, false bottoms, and drainage layers. Uniform size, pre-screened of crushed fines.

EXPANDED CLAY · SCREENED · RINSE BEFORE SEMI-HYDRO USE

The bag you'll spot on the shelf

Made for your collection

Pretty enough for the shelfie. Serious enough for the roots.

Every bag is filled the week you buy it, labeled with its real grade, and blended to earn a spot next to your best plants. If it wouldn't go in our own pots, it doesn't go in the bag.

Why fresh-bagged

What a big-box bag can't do.

FRESHNESS

Bagged this week, not last year

Big-brand media sits in a warehouse for months before it hits a shelf. Ours is broken down from bulk and bagged on-site in small runs, so it never sits crushed under a pallet stack.

GRADE

Real grade numbers, not guesswork

Perlite #3, #4, and Fine — plus 1/4"–3/8" partially sifted pumice that serious growers hunt for. Not the dusty fines that pass for "perlite" in a hardware aisle.

SOURCING

Mined in New Mexico, bagged in Houston

Pumice sourced from the Rocky Mountain Mine in Española, New Mexico, then broken down and bagged by hand at our Houston shop — so you know exactly where every bag comes from.

HONESTY

Honest fill, labeled contents

Grade and net contents printed on every bag. Run your hands through our bins in-store before you buy — we have nothing to hide.
