I had several of my plants in lava rock and plastic pots. They did really well for the first couple of years and then the roots did not look so good anymore. I have been told that red lava rock absorbs salts and eventually becomes toxic to roots.
This year I am trying out some things potted in granite! Roots seem to like it so far, hopefully they will stay happy.
