Direct from Japan, this clay aggregate excels at retaining nutrients and moisture without sacrificing porosity. It has a neutral pH, with a slight tendency towards acidity if kept wet for prolonged periods. This aggregate is ideal for promoting beneficial bacteria and fungi, thanks to its complex porous structure that supports secondary fibrous roots.
Akadama clay is highly regarded in traditional bonsai cultivation for its ability to enhance root development and overall plant health. Bonsai enthusiasts value its capacity to replicate the natural conditions of mountain soils, fostering the intricate root systems essential for miniature tree growth.
Moreover, Akadama's unique texture and colour make it a popular choice among bonsai enthusiasts, adding aesthetic appeal to miniature landscapes. Its natural beauty is complemented by the characteristic fizzing and crackling sounds it makes when watered, creating a soothing sensory experience.
Our Akadama grade ranges between 2-8mm.
