Review: Good dirt alternative - I’m trying to go soil free to reduce fungus gnats. I’m new to this so I tried my string of turtles with this in a non-draining pot. They like it! ## Features - Visual Indicator: Akadama soil changes color (it darkens) when wet, indicating when to water your plant. Keep an eye that you don’t overwater them or don’t leave them under-watering, which retain their form when dry and absorb water when wet. - Natural Material: This Bonsai Akadama (1/8 inch - 1/4 inch) is fired clay from 100% natural volcanic soil, eco-friendly, no additional fillers, no paint, no dyes, no chemicals, and provides the tree with moisture while preventing compaction. - How to Use: Although akadama is one of the most commonly used mediums for bonsai soil, it’s rarely used on its own. Combining particles with different structural and water-retention properties allows for the creation of nearly limitless bonsai mixes. - Fast Drainage: Akadama is highly porous in nature, and favors faster drainage. It also helps in spreading nutrients to your bonsai tree roots. It ticks off all the necessary requirements succulents needs for proper growth. - Satisfaction Guaranteed: This professional-grade akadama is well packed in a reusable sealing bag, and easy to open and close with every use. Our friendly customer service is ready for you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B7XXY3BF | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,792 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #144 in Garden Soil | | Brand | NOHOBE | | Brand Name | NOHOBE | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 496 Reviews | | Item Type Name | Hard Akadama Bonsai Soil | | Item Weight | 1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | NOHOBE | | Manufacturer Part Number | AK25 | | Model Number | AK25 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Style | Japanese | | Style Name | Japanese | | Unit Count | 40.0 Fluid Ounces | | Volume | 2.5 Liters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** NOHOBE - **Item Weight:** 1 Kilograms - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Style:** Japanese - **Unit Count:** 40.0 Fluid Ounces ## Images ![2.5lb Hard Akadama Bonsai Soil 1/8-1/4 inch Small Grain for Cactus, Succulents, Bonsai Plants Soil Amendment, Prevent Over Water, Provides Optimal Water Retention, Fast Drainage - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UQ+1q7ZHL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are there actually 6 different types of rock ?** A: Gritty Mix contains 6 different types of rock: Red Lava Rocks, Black Lava Rock, Hard Maifanitum, Maifanitum, Diatomite, and Green Zeolite ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality and Priced Right! *by A***R on March 13, 2026* Happily, the size and quantity are what I expected.
