The stones serve both practical and decorative roles: they reduce surface evaporation, keep soil from splashing, and give planted arrangements a finished, professional look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these stones help plant drainage and root health?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe porous, irregular surfaces of maifan stones promote better water flow through the potting medium and prevent water from pooling at the soil surface.
