Description The Akadama is a small grained product, around 5mm for general bonsai soil use. It is labeled “Hard Akadama”. Like Akadama in general it can be crushed between your fingers. It is used as a component in bonsai soil and often mixed with black lava and pumice to create a bonsai soil mix. Promotes healthy root growth: The porous granules of akadama allow for good air circulation, which is vital for root health. It also retains enough moisture to keep roots hydrated while preventing waterlogging. Balances water and nutrient retention: Akadama holds both water and nutrients, releasing them gradually to the plant. This provides a steady supply of what the tree needs, and its breakdown into smaller particles encourages the formation of finer roots. Visually appealing and customizable: The earthy tones of akadama add an aesthetically pleasing, natural look to a bonsai display. It can be used alone or mixed with other components like pumice or lava rock to create a custom soil mix tailored to specific plant needs.
