LAVA-LITE garden products are erupting in popularity…


LAVA-LITE's natural garden products are derived from volcanic deposits, offering lightweight and pH neutral formulas that are formed naturally during a volcanic eruption and the aftermath.

The porous nature of LAVA-LITE allows water to flow through it so that it can reach underneath, with the ability to retain moisture so that plants can access water when they need to.

From cactus and succulents, orchids and hydroponic systems to restoring and improving soil, LAVA-LITE’s natural horticultural products really do benefit all kinds of plants – safely and sustainably.

Working alongside existing watering regimes and feeds, as well as a natural grow media on its own, the LAVA-LITE collection of organic horticulture products helps with moisture control and thermal protection for strong, healthy plant growth.

Safe and non-toxic

Made from 100% natural materials, LAVA-LITE is eco-friendly and safe for use around children and pets, making it the go-to option for family gardens. As part of their passion and awareness for the wider world, LAVA-LITE are working towards presenting all of their products in sustainable packaging.

Sustainability efforts

LAVA-LITE doesn’t require any extra heat treatment, reducing the amount of energy required to produce their products. They also allow packaging to be posted back for recycling and are working towards biodegradable, compostable packaging. On top of pacaking, LAVA-LITE also minimise waste by evaluating operations and ensuring they are as efficient as possible.

Finally, they use an accredited program to offset the greenhouse gas emissions generated by their activities.
