## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have any kind of fertilizer? I have carnivore plants that need drainage and cant have fertilizers unless theyre bugs so i just wanted to be**
A: 100% Black Lava. No fertilizers!

**Q: Could this be a good replacement for “fuji sand”, either fine or course? attempting to follow the guidance of kobayashi‘s book keshiki bonzai.**
A: Hello and thank you for your inquiry. Fuji sand is comprised of black lava, where as, Premium/Boon Mix is comprised of red lava, Akadama and Pumice. To answer your question though, yes, this would work very well as black lava has very similar properties as the Premium mix; in that you will keep moisture retention but have optimal drain off. Please let us know if you have any other questions, as we are always glad to help. -Kevin Jr.-

**Q: how many quarts in a package?**
A: 2 Quarts of sifted Red Lava is included. It is sifted to eliminate the dust / power, so you receive more of what your ordered. Thank you

**Q: Is this really as red as it appears in the photos?**
A: It's a brick colored red. Hopefully that helps.

*by J***. on October 31, 2020*

Excellent product. Every time I get a bag of lava rock locally, size is all over the place. This stuff is perfect for mixing in soil, and as a top layer.Expensive for what it is, but everything from this company has been very reliable and consistent for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Top Dressing
*by P***R on July 21, 2020*

All stones uniform in size and clean. I purchased with intending to use it for top dressing. I'm a succulent lover. I feel this would also be good for adding to soil for the plants that need fast drainage. The uniform size would work well.
