Plant a lava stone
Lava rocks are porous, so they store water and provide optimal root retention. But not all plants are suitable for planting the lava stone. Find out which plants are comfortable here and how you can plant your lava stone step by step.
Step by step plant the lava stone
A question that often arises when planting a lava stone is whether or not soil is needed. Unfortunately, this can not be said all-inclusive, since it is not necessary for some plants and makes sense for others. Generally, larger plants need more soil than smaller ones. To avoid the problem, just put some earth on the stone, because it does no harm.
Then proceed as follows:
Which plants are suitable for the lava stone?
Especially easy is planting with moss. It looks like a small grassy landscape on the rocky ground. It combines well with low-growing grasses.
Another very popular variant for the lava stone planting are succulents. They need little water and also get along with little nutrients and no soil, so they are just predestined for the lava stone. If you have your lava stone outdoors, you should make sure that your plants are hardy. Hardy succulents are e.g. Hauswurz, other types of fat hens or Sternwurz.
Maintain lava stone
The lava stone stores, as I said, moisture. If you have it in the garden or on the terrace, all you have to do is enjoy the planted stone. The rain provides enough water. Only with a longer drying phase you should help with a little water. Young succulents or recently planted succulents should be covered in winter so that they do not suffer frost damage.
If the lava stone is in the house, you should water it now and then.
