Akadama Medium Grain 赤玉土中粒 8-10mm (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.

On the other hand, 8-10mm akadama is larger in size and is more suitable for use in larger pots, such as garden pots. The larger particle size provides more stability for larger plants and trees. It also allows for better water retention, which is important for plants that require more water.
