I have just finished Live Q+A 113 the last question Ryan mentioned Bulk pumice availability. He said there is bulk pumice in Texas, Could someone at Mirai let me know where this place is? Or if a member of the Mirai community knows were to get pumice in that area of America I live in Louisiana.
Idk about everyone else, but I get my pumice on Amazon. It’s been really good. Very little fines and runs about $28 for 5 gallons of it. It’s just hit or miss as to whether or not it’s available.
What brand are you buying?
Thank you I just placed an order.
Awesome, hope you like it. I’ve used it on two Yamadori and a bottle brush repot. Very happy.
Bonsai Tonight previously dropped shipped bags of pumice on pallets. You could also mix bags of scoria and akadama
There are pumice (pumicite) deposits in Texas but I didn’t find anything on mines.
CR Minerals in New Mexico has a bulk horticultural pumice
Never ordered. Looks like they don’t have 1/4". 1/8’, 3/16", 3/8’ available. Discounts on bulk orders.
Personally been tempted to buy the 2000# bulk tote!
This company is a few miles from me. I bought pumice from him a few years ago. He picks it up in Oregon and I am not sure if the stuff he sells retail is sifted. The pumice I got from him I shoveled out of a bin and had to sift myself. The stuff from amazon isn’t available.
I like the pumice I found last year a lot better, and my source has a lot more on hand so I can get it whenever I want.
