Authentic Hard Akadama Soil from Japan - Premium Bonsai Growing Medium (18L)

Premium Hard Akadama Soil - Standard Grade (18L)

Akadama, which translates to "Red Ball Earth" in Japanese, is a specialized volcanic soil that has been the cornerstone of bonsai cultivation in Japan for centuries. This premium substrate is carefully mined from Japanese volcanic deposits, then dried and sorted into specific grain sizes for optimal performance.

Our standard grade Ho Yoku Akadama features uniform particles between 3-5mm, providing the perfect balance of water retention and drainage that bonsai trees need to thrive. One of its most useful characteristics is its color-changing property – the soil noticeably darkens when wet, giving gardeners a clear visual indicator of when to water their trees.

While particularly excellent for conifers, this versatile soil works wonderfully for all bonsai varieties. Whether you're a master gardener or just starting your bonsai journey, you can use Akadama either as a standalone growing medium or blend it with other substrates to create your perfect mix.

Package Contents:

• 18L bag of hard-grade Akadama soil
• Standard particle size (3-5mm)

Trusted by Japanese master gardeners for generations, Akadama continues to be the gold standard in bonsai cultivation, offering unmatched properties that promote healthy root development and overall tree health.
