Japanese Super Hard Akadama Bonsai Soil - Fine Grain (6lb) | Ideal for Cuttings, Seedling Cultivation, Fine-Rooted Plants

I love the quality of this akadama! I love that it comes in multiple sizes however I have only tried this one which I think is X-small. It mixes in very well with my soilless succulent gritty mix. It doesn’t fall apart or crumble. I have been using it for about 5 months and its still completely in tact. It can also be used as a top dressing. Im sticking with this brand!! They pic of the Pachyphytum in the black planter shows it wet as a top dressing. The pic of the Graptosedum Ghosty in the pink planter shows it dry but mixed with turface as a top dressing.

Good product wish it was cheeper. You do have to sift but it’s okay that goes into the propagation tray.

Fantastic quality and value for price. Size is very consistent, packaging is good, and relatively low dust.

I really wanted to try using this instead of the other brand I had previously. It feels nice and dry and is definitely hard pieces that held together. From just looking it seems like exactly what I needed for my plants. Maybe I got received a contaminated bag or it sat in bad condition. Not sure, but I’m unhappy with my purchase. My plants never had bug in the soil for the years I’ve kept them highly taken care of. Now every time I water I see microscopic size & nat sized bugs in every one that I transplanted into this medium. It’s very upsetting. My plants are expensive and now it’s going to be even more in chemicals for issues.

This exactly as described. The grains are very consistent on size. Highly recommended for germinating seeds.

Quality soil

The small size combined with some larger grit makes an excellent medium for South African plants like Adromischus and Crassula. I also use it for my pachyphytum and other pachy's. It allows the majority of the water to drain away while holding enough water with nutrients for the roots to slowly take it in when they need it. It’s also small enough for propagating your succulents. The grains are really uniform in size and they don't break down quickly. A good product for the money.
