Akadama Ibaraki Substrate – 2 Liter Pack – Small Grain
The Akadama Ibaraki 2 L small grain substrate is one of the most popular soils worldwide for growing bonsai. Extracted and selected in Japan, this type of volcanic clay is particularly suitable for ensuring a perfect balance between drainage, water retention, and root oxygenation.
The fine grain (1-4 mm) makes it ideal for small bonsai, young plants, or recent rootings. The porous structure of Akadama promotes the development of a strong root system, preventing waterlogging and improving air circulation in the pot.
