How to use karuishi

Karuishi is usually mixed with akadama – e.g. 1/3 karuishi for deciduous trees and up to half for conifers and species that should be kept drier. The fine grade suits shohin and young trees together with fine akadama.

Good to know about pumice

  • Pumice is the lightest type of stone and often floats on water.
  • The grains hold water in their pores but drain away excess water.
  • It does not break down, so the mix keeps its structure even when the akadama starts to crumble.
