Key Features:

  • Consistent Particle Size: Each granule measures between 3-5mm, ensuring optimal aeration and moisture retention.

Why Choose Akadama?

Akadama is a granular mineral that has been a staple in Japanese horticulture for generations. Its unique properties include:

  • Moisture Indicator: When wet, akadama darkens, providing a visual cue for watering needs.
  • High Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC): Retains nutrients for a steady supply to your plants.
  • Porous Structure: Ensures excellent drainage while retaining essential moisture.

Versatile Uses:

Aquascaping and Shrimp Care:

  • Helps maintain tank equilibrium and stability.
  • Buffers pH levels safely for up to three years.
  • Natural composition prevents leaching, keeping your water pristine.

Bonsai Cultivation:

  • Encourages a robust feeder root system for strong, highly branched trees.
  • Provides a steady nutrient release for optimal growth.
  • Ideal for rooting cuttings and can be combined with pumice for enhanced structure.

Succulent Growth:

  • Promotes vibrant growth and leaf color saturation.
  • Perfect for rooting various succulent species.
  • Best used in conjunction with pumice for improved drainage.

Experience the unparalleled benefits of Ibaraki Hard Akadama and elevate your gardening and aquascaping projects to new heights!

    AKADAMA

    My trees are loving it! First time repotting myself using 100% soilless mix - Akadama / Lava rock / Pumice / Coal. Just brought them into partial sun after 3 weeks of the repotting process. I can already see the foliage is greener and new growth is brighter.
