Akadama 2.25qt Bonsai Soil, Sifted Through 1/8 Inch Mesh Then Through 1/16 Mesh, Dust and Small Particles Removed

Found an excessive amount of debris in the bag while shifting. Also, too much dust! Also it's overpriced.

I’ve bought many types of cheap Akadama soil on Amazon, but they tended to crumble easily and were very dusty. I decided to try this one instead, and I was pleasantly surprised! The granules are very sturdy and produce minimal dust. I’ll update my review after using it for a while!

As with most plant and bonsai stuff, it takes time to fully know if something works amazing or terrible! I was new to the world of bonsais, and in February I finally planted my first two! These are Flame Trees, aka Delonix Regia/Royal Poinciana and as you can see they grew extremely fast! The larger is up to 4”! So I did all the research I could for this plant and learned everything that could help them grow! A grow light and heating mat were I believe a great help for indoors especially it being a tropical tree. When we found the best soil combination of lava rock, pumice, and bark fines, as well as akadama. We found tinyroots to have amazing reviews! We did their tropical blend and from what I could find out that blend didn’t contain akadama. So we purchased this to mix in! We did about 1 part akadama to about 7 parts tropical blend just to be safe, then sprinkled a few akadama on top after plants were planted. So far amazing! I did squeeze the pieces of akadama to test strength and they did not crumble! We did sift them, as the shipping I think causes some dust and crumble but very happy! Will keep using and if this changes we will update review!

Good bag of soil.. tried using this for my moss ball, think it will do just fine. The packaging is kinda old, not sure if it is cuz it has been sitting in the sun?

Great quality

Great size, love everything about it. grows moss well.
