Akadama Fine Grain 赤玉土细粒 2-3mm (13L bag)

  Purpose:

Suitable for use as a planting medium for various indoor and outdoor plants in sunny Singapore.

Application:

Can be used as a soil component for plants such as bonsai, succulents, cacti, and other plants that prefer well-draining soil.

Composition:

Made from volcanic soil that is rich in minerals, Akadama is available in different sizes, ranging from small to large grains. It is generally pH-neutral and has good water retention properties.

Use:

For optimal results, it is recommended to mix Akadama with other components such as organic compost, perlite, or pumice to create a well-draining and nutrient-rich soil mix. The watering frequency will depend on the specific plant requirements and environmental conditions, but it is generally recommended to water when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. In Singapore’s sunny climate, it may be necessary to water more frequently to prevent the soil from drying out.

3-5mm akadama is smaller in size and more suitable for use in smaller pots, such as bonsai pots. The smaller particle size allows for better drainage and air circulation, which is important for the health of bonsai trees. It is also more suitable for younger plants, as their roots are not as developed and need a finer substrate.
