Why Mirasand

More light. Better soil. No gnats.

  1. Reflects light upward

    Pale mineral grains bounce sunlight up into the canopy and reach the leaves that sit in shadow. Plants grow up to 30% bigger.

  2. Feeds the soil

    Every time you water, more natural minerals wash down into the soil. No chemicals, no synthetic fertilizer.

  3. Lets roots breathe

    Mirasand sits as a breathable layer, so air still reaches the roots. Decorative pebbles just seal the surface.

  4. Stops fungus gnats

    Fungus gnats lay eggs in damp, open topsoil. Mirasand covers it with a layer they can't dig through, so the next generation never hatches.

Mirasand - Natural Soil Topper

$25.00

Mirasand puts sunlight to work. Pour the pale mineral grains over the topsoil of any potted plant and they bounce light back up into the leaves that sit in shadow. Plants grow up to 30% fuller and faster.

Every time you water, the minerals wash a little deeper and feed the soil. The same layer covers the damp topsoil where fungus gnats breed, so the gnats give up. No chemicals, no additives.

  • Reflects light for up to 30% bigger, faster growth
  • Feeds the soil with natural minerals
  • Ends fungus gnats for good
  • Safe for every plant, including the fruits, vegetables, and herbs you eat

How to use: spread about a centimetre of Mirasand over the topsoil, right up to the stem, then water as usual.

We make Mirasand in Canada with the Faculty of Science at the University of Ottawa.

Mirasand captures additional sunlight to enhance a plant’s growing environment. It reflects the sunlight, exposing more leaves to light. This improves and accelerates the plant’s growth process.
