AKADAMA for Bonsai plants

Importance of  mineral components in Bonsai soils

1.    Good drainage.

2.    Oxygen-rich structure

3.    To add 'body' and stability.

 With the exception of grit, all the common mineral components of bonsai soils absorb and retain moisture, drain well and have some degree of cec. 

  

Akadama is entirely unique and can't be fairly compared to any other mineral,

Akadama is sold in India by POWERCLAY 

Akadama is a naturally occurring clay-like (but not clay) mineral found only in one region in Japan.

It is surface mined, dried, graded and packaged.

No baking or firing is involved. When wetted, it does not form a slurry like clay but forms a gritty paste.

Akadama is without any doubt the absolute best growing medium for Japanese maples and many other broadleaved species, and is arguably one of the best ingredients to incorporate in smaller proportions for moist other species.

The big advantage of Akadama is that roots can grow through the parcels as well as between them, which vastly increases the amount of space in the pot that is available to the roots.  Once roots penetrate Akadama particles they become fine and highly ramified, forming a dense pad of functioning feeding tips. When you foist use Akadama the result is really quite astonishing compared to most other media.  Although Akadama has a relatively low cec (around 18-20 meq/100g) the fact that the roots are so prolifically generated means that this is not a defect.

 Hydrotone Leca -expanded clay pebbles / pellets  /aggregates

Hydrotone - expanded clay  is a light weight , porous aggregate  made from finest Belgium Clay

 Hydrotone has uses in horticulture and landscapes, it is used as a growing medium in hydroponics systems, can be mixed with other growing mediums such as soil and cocopeat to improve drainage, retain water during periods of drought, protect  roots during summer and provide roots with increased oxygen levels promoting very vigorous growth.

Hydrotone can be mixed with heavy soil in order to reduce the weight of plants and landscapes soils.

 Hydrophonic/Hydroculture media - The capillarity and the structure of the clay pebbles ensures good root aeration and prevents rotting, excess acidity and soil pests , and completely reusable

Hydrotone for potting plants . terraces gardens , balconies , hotels , landscapes ,home , factory, garden lawn , horticulture uses etc.,

Hydrotone  : How to USE

2.        Hydrotone -Mixed with Soil / Potting Medium : Hydrotone aerates the soil . helps to keep moisture and accelerates the growth of the roots and thanks for porosity , the soil structure is lighter and more stable , water circulates better after heavy rains / excessive watering and do not stocks  ,

         Tips : mix soil with 8:2 ratio

3.        Hydrotone for drainage and water reservoir : The surplus of moisture is then retains and given back to the plants when need the plant roots are not directly in contacts with water protecting them from decay / rots , Tips : 2-3cm in bottom

4.        Hydrotone  Hydroponics /natural : Due to water storage capacity , its natural ph and its light weight clay is ideal substrate for all kinds of plants systems , the pebbles have large pores offers a balanced water capillary action  , Tips : Fill clay into pot upto half , hold the plant so that the roots are inside the pot fill with pebbles to the top
