    Discover the Benefits of Japanese Kanuma

    Japanese Kanuma is a unique soil amendment sourced from the volcanic regions of Kanuma City in Tochigi, Japan. Formed from the eruption of Mount Akagi approximately 45,000 years ago, this remarkable material is tailored for acid-loving plants.

    Why Choose Japanese Kanuma?

    • Exceptional Moisture Retention: Its highly porous structure allows Kanuma to absorb and retain moisture, ensuring your plants receive the hydration they need.
    • Ideal pH Range: With a pH value between 4.5 - 5.5, Kanuma provides the perfect acidic environment for a variety of plants, especially those that thrive in such conditions.
    • Perfect for Acid-Loving Plants: This medium is highly suitable for species such as camellias, rhododendrons, gardenias, and many more.
    • Supports Carnivorous Plants: Kanuma is a popular choice in carnivorous plant mixes, particularly for species like Nepenthes.
    • Encourages Root Penetration: The soft texture of Kanuma allows fibrous roots, such as those from Azaleas, to penetrate easily, enabling efficient use of container space.

    How to Use Japanese Kanuma

    To maximize the effectiveness of Kanuma, follow these simple guidelines:

    • Avoid mixing Kanuma with organic materials for best results.
    • For enhanced soil structure, consider mixing in up to 20% of small akadama particles.
    • Handle with care to prevent dust formation; minimal handling is recommended.
    • When positioning a tree, avoid forcing or jiggling to prevent breaking the delicate particles.
    • Adjust your watering schedule as needed, typically watering daily unless in particularly dry conditions.

    Transform Your Plant Care Experience

    With Japanese Kanuma, you can provide your acid-loving plants with the ideal growing medium. Experience the difference in your plant's health and vitality, all while enjoying the ease of use that comes with this premium product.

    Amazing product

    Repotting my Azaleas have always been stressful as they are so precious, but challenging (lost my first one years ago that left me in months of mourning). When I used the Kanuma this season I was again quite nervous. BUT, what a result - they are thriving beyond expectation!!! This is worth more than the cost and I will never use any other product. Thank you Terry - this has been a transformation for me and my Azaleas. Louise

    Kanuma for the win

    Anyone that is not using Kanuma for growing their Azaleas are just missing out on getting their Azalea plants to their full potential.

    Kanuma Soil Medium

    Having used the product before to develop my Azalea, I can honestly say this product is magic. Despite its soft texture, it still maintains its acidic properties from start till you repot. A really fantastic product that keeps the guesswork out of maintaining the ideal ph balance to develop rhododendrons optimally. Thank you. Hassim Gora Khaki.
