    Transform your gardening and aquatics with our premium Japanese Lava Stone, expertly sourced and available in a medium particle size of 0-10mm. This volcanic byproduct, known as Fujizuna, offers an array of benefits, making it a must-have for enthusiasts of bonsai, terrariums, and aquariums.

    Key Features:

    • Natural Composition: Each bag contains unwashed, authentic lava stone, ensuring a completely natural product.
    • Ideal for Bonsai: Enhances air circulation and prevents compaction in growing mediums, extending the lifespan of your plants.
    • Perfect for Aquariums: Its high porosity provides ample surface area for beneficial bacteria, improving water quality by removing nitrates.
    • Supports Succulents: Facilitates moisture retention while allowing for optimal air flow, making it an excellent addition to succulent mixes.
    • Reusable and Durable: Unlike organic materials, lava stone does not degrade, offering longevity in its use.

    Optimal Mix Ratios:

    For the best results, consider using the renowned Boon mix, which combines:

    • 1 part small lava stone
    • 1 part small akadama
    • 1 part small pumice

    Adjust the proportions as needed to increase water retention, particularly when potting deciduous trees.

    Particle Distribution:

    • Approximately 20%: Smaller than 2.4mm
    • Approximately 45%: Between 2.4mm - 4.8mm
    • Approximately 35%: Larger than 4.8mm - 10mm

    Japanese Lava Stone

    I started using the Lava stone with Akadama and Pumice last year and have had excellent growth on my trees especially Junipers.

    Japanese Lava Stone, Small, 0-5mm

    Great component to add to the bonsai soil, and also is great for my more unforgiving succulents (where I mix with pumice and akadama)
