Japanese pumice, known as Hyuga in Japan, is a premium, naturally occurring volcanic product sourced from the southern region of Miyazaki Prefecture. This exceptional growing medium offers unique characteristics that set it apart from conventional pumice.
Japanese pumice is highly recommended for:
As noted by bonsai expert Michael Hagedorn, if there is only one soil component to use for bonsai, it should be 100% pumice.
Hyuga does not break down under normal circumstances, making it easy to sift and reuse. To ensure plant health, a disinfecting treatment using Sporekill is recommended to minimize the risk of spreading any fungal or bacterial issues.
Hyuga can also be combined with other elements such as:
The excellent drainage qualities of Hyuga are particularly beneficial for nurturing ailing trees back to health. For typical conditions, a ratio of 1:1 (akadama to pumice) is ideal. For plants that thrive in moister environments, simply double the quantity of akadama.
Unlock the potential of your plants with Japanese pumice (Hyuga) and experience the difference in growth and vitality!
Awesome medium to use, very good drainage and airation, my trees are really loving this product in combination with Akadama. Would never use any other medium! Would recommend this to anyone that wants to up their bonsai game!
Shipping was really fast and the substrate is perfect for my lithops and spilt rocks. Visible root improvements just after a week of repotting them.
The use of Fine Pumice together with Fine Akadama has improved the root growth and health of my Haworthia significantly. The plants using this substrate look generally stronger than those using more conventional mixes. I have also had success with rooting and establishing other plants in pumice, and found it an excellent substrate for my more demanding Hoya species. I would recommend this product for anyone who wants to improve the health of their plants, and who wants to achieve rapid root growth for their cuttings.
Nice to mix the fine Pumice with fine Akadama to encourage fine surface root development!
This is such an amazing addition to the soil mix for my succulents and bonsai plants. Service from Terry and the team as always is excellent. Thank you.
