Akadama is a volcanic clay mined in Japan and prized by bonsai growers for its balance of drainage, moisture retention, and nutrient exchange. It encourages strong root growth, prevents compaction, and improves long-term soil structure.
Choose your texture:
Fine (<3mm): Ideal for seed-starting, terrariums, small pots, or delicate root systems
Coarse (3–6mm): Great for tropicals, succulents, caudex, or chunkier mixes
Double-Sifted to remove dust and fines
Hard-Fired for strength & long-term use
Neutral pH and free from additives
Moisture-retentive but airy — roots stay hydrated without staying wet
High Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) = excellent nutrient availability
Excellent as a Top Dressing – improves presentation & helps deter fungus gnats
Terrarium-Friendly – clean, uniform, and stable under humidity
A versatile soil amendment for a range of plant favorites—from bonsai and succulents to cacti and caudex plants. Use it on its own in terrariums or blend into your custom mix to improve structure, drainage, and moisture balance.
Perfect for:
Enhancing chunky tropical blends
Rooting sensitive species with minimal compaction
Clean, decorative layer for terrariums or open displays
Top dressing to reduce fungus gnats and keep things looking polished
We source premium-grade, hard-fired Akadama—not the soft stuff that breaks down in one season. Every batch is double-sifted in-house for purity and consistency.
