How to use kiryu

Kiryu is rarely used on its own but is usually mixed with akadama – e.g. half and half for pine and juniper. Because the grains do not break down, the mix stays airy and free-draining for many years, even when the akadama starts to crumble.

Good to know

  • Conifers like the substrate to dry out well between waterings – kiryu helps with that.
  • Can also be used for deciduous trees if you want a more free-draining mix.
  • The fine grade suits smaller pots and young trees.
