Description

Discover the Power of Ibaraki Hard Akadama

Introducing the Ibaraki Hard Akadama, a premium growing medium specifically designed for bonsai enthusiasts and container gardening lovers. This volcanic mineral, naturally sourced from Japan, provides an unparalleled environment for healthy plant growth.

Key Features:

Consistent Particle Size: Each granule measures between 5-8mm, ensuring optimal drainage and moisture retention.
High Quality Ibaraki Brand: Known for its durability, this hard type of akadama retains its shape longer than other mediums.
Promotes Healthy Growth: Ideal for rooting cuttings and supporting robust growth in your plants.
Exclusively Imported: Sourced directly from Japan by Bonsai Tree, ensuring authenticity and superior quality.
Available Sizes: Choose from 2L, 5L, or 14L bags to suit your gardening needs.

Why Choose Akadama?

Akadama is not just any growing medium; it is a natural volcanic material that has been beloved by Japanese gardeners for centuries. Here’s why it’s a must-have:

Water Retention: Its high Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) allows it to retain water and nutrients, providing your plants with the essential elements they need to thrive.
Indicates Watering Needs: The unique color change when wet helps you easily determine when it’s time to water.
Porosity and Drainage: Akadama strikes the perfect balance between moisture retention and drainage, preventing root rot.

Usage Recommendations:

For optimal results, avoid mixing akadama with organic materials. This 5-8mm particle size is excellent for larger trees or as a drainage layer. Pair it with pumice in a 1:1 ratio for standard growing conditions, or increase the akadama for moisture-loving plants.

Elevate your gardening game with Ibaraki Hard Akadama and witness the exceptional growth of your plants!
