Which Pumice should I buy? Solved

[BryanW]

I took the plunge and went for 2-3mm pumice for offset rooting & for the young Haworthia plants I have now I've ordered some 3-5mm.
I decided it would be more sensible to get the 5-8mm when the Haworthia roots mature a bit more.

If you are ever in an IKEA they do some good general purpose pumice (it is not actually called that).

What is it called then and where in the store?

Hi FaeLLe,
I did actually look at Ikea during my search and they were out of stock in most areas at the time.

Prior to posting this topic, I had previously obtained some fine grain pumice(2-3mm) to start with and I've used that on Haworthia offsets and I'll reclaim and sterilise it once their root system has developed.

In the end I went for no sharp edges 3-5mm Bonsai pumice, at what I considered a decent price, I got 32 litres at around £1 a litre +postage.
My new grading riddle has arrived today so I shall be 'shakin my stuff' later

I'll also be using the Molar clay cat litter that Tina recommended, I'll use that for my Mesembs when I re-pot in the Autumn or if I spot any parasites in the interim.
