Premium Deciduous Blend, Sifted

Kindly note we offer two blended products; the Deciduous blend holds more water than the Conifer Blend.

Ensure your prized bonsai's health with our Premium Deciduous Blend, a professional-grade, soilless growing medium developed specifically for the unique demands of maples, elms and in general deciduous trees but also many evergreens such as olives and tropicals such as figs.

Why This Mix Works:

• The Golden Ratio: Features a precise 2:1:1 balance of Double-Redline Akadama, Horticultural Pumice, Volcanic Lava Rock and Agricarb.
• Superior Drainage: Prevents root rot—the primary enemy of deciduous—by allowing water to pass through freely while maintaining essential oxygen pockets. Fines have also been sifted.
• Structural Integrity: These inorganic components resist breaking down, ensuring your trees thrive for years between repottings without soil compaction.
• Nutrient Retention: The high Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) of the Akadama ensures your Bonsai Fertilizers are held in the substrate and delivered efficiently to the roots.
• The Bio-Active Edge: Infused with 5% Agricarb (Macadamia Nut Biochar). This sustainably sourced additive creates a permanent habitat for beneficial mycorrhizal fungi, which are essential for conifer health and nutrient uptake

Specifications:

• Composition: 47.5% Akadama, 23.75% Pumice, 23.75% Lava Rock, 5% Agricarb.
• Particle Size: Professionally sifted to 3mm–6mm to remove dust and fines.
• Best For: All deciduous species including Japanese maples, Chinese maples, Elms as well as evergreens such as Olives and tropicals such as Figs. 

Please note: This premium product is sifted to remove fines however some fines may be present when you receive it due to avoidable friction of the particles during transport.
