This substrate is made from special clay from the Ibaraki region of Japan, which undergoes a sifting process and dried to produce a highly porous and draining soil.
The variety of this substrate known as "coarse grain" has a particle size of between 5 and 8 millimeters, which which gives it a slightly rough and porous texture. This allows excellent air and water circulation around of the roots of the plant, which promotes the growth of a strong and healthy root system.
The "Triple Line" in the substrate description refers to the superior quality of this product in comparison with other varieties of Akadama. It is an indicator that this substrate has passed a strict process of selection to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality and purity.
It is one of the most suitable substrates for use in bonsai because it is resistant to compaction, which prevents the soil becomes too tight and hinders root growth. It also has a capacity of balanced water retention, which helps prevent dehydration of the roots and maintains constant moisture on the floor.
Akadama Ibaraki Triple Line, for those looking for a high quality and efficient substrate for cultivation of bonsai.
The biggest advantage to using Akadama is that it has porosity, or the ability to hold water and store it in microscopic pores and cavities for a longer period of time. This ability to retain water and nutrients is crucial for any type of plant life, and is even more so for a bonsai species. This type of soil also has the benefit of being a free-draining type, meaning that it is easy for Akadama to drain unnecessary water given enough time. Yet another advantage to using this soil would be in the colour of Akadama, which can darken when moisten, thereby helping the caretaker to know when to water the plant.
