Akadama bonsai soil is essential for repotting in bonsai care. This reddish-brown clay granulate, which has volcanic origins, is found on the island of Honshu in Japan. It is mined from open-cast mines and exported worldwide.
Japanese Akadama
Akadama provides excellent stability for bonsai after repotting. Its permeability allows air to reach root cells, promoting oxygen flow, while its low tendency to compact keeps it structurally stable over time.
With superior drainage properties, Akadama helps prevent root rot and retains nutrients effectively. Additionally, its buffer capacity helps regulate pH levels and prevent soil acidification.
