Black gravel represents a natural product, resulting from fine stone fragments that have been carefully washed and processed to eliminate any impurities. With a neutral pH and uniform color, this material becomes an ideal choice for various applications in horticulture or aquascaping. It is most commonly used as top-dressing in plant pots or arrangements. This type of gravel aids in creating an aquatic environment without compromising water quality.
Furthermore, black gravel can be successfully integrated into substrate mixes, contributing to improved drainage and soil aeration. Its non-compacting property is crucial for maintaining an optimal environment for plant roots, reducing the risk of decay. Additionally, by facilitating proper drainage, it prevents the excessive accumulation of water, thus inhibiting the growth of bacteria or fungi.
