Calofulston Black River Stones 15 lb - 1–1¾ inch Polished Pebbles for Plants & Landscaping

These are 15 pounds of highly polished black river stones (about 1 to 1¾ inches each) for decorating planters, vases, terrariums, walkways, and gardens.

Calofulston 15LB Black Rock small river stones arrive pre-polished and waxed, sized for versatile indoor and outdoor projects. Each package contains roughly 800 smooth, rounded pebbles that give a modern, low-maintenance finish to pots, succulent trays, aquarium-free vases, and landscaped beds. The natural dark color contrasts well with foliage, bright flowers, and light gravel, while the pebble size keeps them stable over soil or decorative substrates.

How will these pebbles improve the look of my potted plants?

The polished black finish instantly sharpens the presentation of houseplants and succulents, creating a clean top layer that highlights plant color and conceals bare soil. They reduce visible soil splatter when watering and make planters easier to keep tidy.

• Provides a uniform, contemporary top dressing for pots and bowls
• Helps prevent soil from scattering during watering
• Dark tone accentuates bright or variegated foliage

Are these stones safe for indoor and outdoor use, and how should I prepare them?

Yes — the stones are suitable for both indoor and outdoor decoration, but they should be cleaned before use to remove surface residues from processing. The manufacturer recommends soaking, scrubbing, and rinsing, or a hot-water soak (without boiling the stones) to flush away any surface chemicals or algae.

• Suitable for vases, terrariums, gardens, walkways, and planters
• Clean before first use: soak, brush, rinse, then dry
• Do not place directly in aquariums without aquarium-safe testing

What practical benefits do the rounded pebbles offer in landscaping?

The smooth, erosion-resistant shape helps control surface runoff and protects mulch or soil from being washed away. Their weight and rounded profile also make them pleasant underfoot in pathways and help stabilize potted arrangements.

• Rounded edges reduce risk of accidental cuts and are comfortable underfoot
• Weighted enough to help control soil erosion and protect banks
• Durable, low-fade finish suited to outdoor weathering

How many stones come in the 15LB bag and what sizes can I expect?

The 15-pound bag contains approximately 800 individual pebbles, each sized between 1 inch and 1¾ inches. This size works well for creating an even layer over medium and small planters, decorative bowls, or small garden accents without feeling oversized.

• About 800 stones per 15LB package
• Individual pebble size: roughly 1" to 1¾" diameter
• Consistent shape and polish for uniform appearance
