Description
Blue Aventurine can be used as a substrate in water propagation and or as a top dressing for a potted plant. In water propagation it is best for plants that will be transplanted into soil after they have developed roots. This substrate will bridge the gap between water roots, which can be fragile and prone to collapsing in dense soil, and soil roots, which are at risk of rotting when exposed to standing water.
When using as a top dressing, use on hardy plants like succulents. The Top Cover will keep low leaves out of the soil, prevents pests like soil gnats and looks so pretty! It will also keep your soil in place when watering. Blue aventurine is on the heavy side for our top covers, unlike opal, and can put too much weight on more delicate root systems.
