Default Volcanic rock as potting material

Hmm....

Could that explain why plants I get from Hawaii in lava rock die? Maybe
it's not my culture.

gal,

I see the volcanic rock mostly from plants that come from Hawaii (imagine
that from volcanic islands).



Umm... Isn't the local legend that if you take rocks from Hawai'i
that Pele gives you a really hard time? There is a curse or
something... *grin* No, I don't believe in curses, but if you do,
perhaps you should insist that your plants be shipped bare root.
