Hi,

Good question, I must remember to be more aware of my audience.  

I live in the greater Houston, TX area.  I can, or course, get pumice, but I 
can't find turface or dry stall.  

The pumice I can get is larger, the size used for landscape mulch.  It is 
just fine for pots of 1-gallon in size or larger--it works just as well as 1/4- 
to 1/2 inch-sized pumice I used to get in Pennsylvania.  

I actually use the pumice mostly only for cacti and succulents--I do love the 
air that it holds  under the surface (cactus roots love that in wet weather). 
  


Cordially,

Conroe Joe
