How to use extra fine akadama

The smallest grade is for the very small trees (mame and shohin) and for seedlings coming out of the seed tray. As a thin top layer it gives a fine surface where moss takes root easily.

Good to know about akadama

  • Fine grains hold more water than coarse ones – so water a little less often than with a coarser mix.
  • The colour changes from dark to light as it dries – an easy sign that it is time to water.
  • Sieve off the dust before use so it does not block the drainage.
  • The grains slowly break down over 2–3 years – a natural sign that the tree will soon need repotting.
