Sorry if this is a dumb question , but just double checking: the Volcanic Lava Rock in the Planta Shop can be used in place of perlite as a soil mix additive for better drainage, right? Can it also be used for propagating cuttings (I guess the same way people use LECA?)

Thank you in advance!  
Also, anyone order from the Plant Store yet?
