Japanese Pumice (Hyuga), Small, 3-6mm

Great medium for repotting

James's service is the best in town. well done.

Very nice. Will get again. Please don’t change the price. It’s really affordable for now. If only I lived in Japan, this will be cheaper than full soil. 😂

Bonsaitree.co.za remains unrivaled in the game called 'Please Sell Me The Best Growing Medium Available'. Ridiculously good service, ridiculously good product.

This has become a staple part of my bonsai mix. And always added to the recycling bin when repoting to be added to the next soil mix batch.

Really happy. Good product

Have always been very happy with this product.

Good size for my small succulents and lithops. Will order bigger bag next time.

This Hyuga Pumice is a very high-quality Japanese volcanic substrate.
It is a natural pumice stone from Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. Its high porosity allows for excellent water and air circulation.
It retains sufficient moisture while preventing the roots from becoming waterlogged. It is nearly neutral, with a pH of approximately 6, making it suitable for a wide variety of plants.
As it is a natural and sterile material, it minimizes the risk of disease in the substrate.
Thank you to Bonsai Tree for importing quality products so that we can benefit from them.

granular size perfect

Love this product.

This product has literally changed the way I look at gardening, and the number of applications it has is so many I can't even list them all because I probably haven't discovered them all yet. I use it in succulent mixes, various houseplant soil mixes, even super hot peppers I struggled to grow for years have thrived since adding pumice to the soil mix. I even use it in some carnivorous plant mixes. And of course it's great for any bonsai mix. It works well for absorbing extra moisture from soil mixes that need to dry in between waterings, which means you need to stay on top of watering schedules when using pumice, but the results are worth it once you start understanding how to work with it. Highly recommended!

I BELIEVE that this Pumice (Hyūga) is such a good product to all succulent growers, and I am speaking with experience using this product, because I have seen a big difference in root growth, in all my Haworthias. thank you.

First time I have purchased this product. Easy ordering led to quick processing and pickup. I use the pumice as a top dressing for my succulent collection. Decorative and beneficial to plants. Quite pleased. Will order again.

I have been using akadama and pumice together with peat or best green soil very successfully growing Haworthia.
I mix 2 parts pumice(small) with 1 part akadama(small) and then add that 50- 50 to peat or best green.
The plants grow very well simply because of the effect this mixture have on root growth. It is not too course but allow oxygen to 'penetrate'. Akadama is the crucial part because it helps to capture nutrients.
This mixture is only used around the roots. At the bottom of the pot I always use course grit and around the neck of the plant I use pumice or grit.
This mixture works well in plastic containers but clay is always my preference.
Never add sand to this type of mix for Haworthia or mesembs. It stays wet too long. With most cactus sand can be added to bring cost down. Watering is determined by many factors but it is crucial to wet the full volume of soil to assure that minerals spread evenly throughout the container.
Bottom and top watering is not a good idea. Rather wait until the climate allows watering or mist only to maintain condition.

What an awsome product
My new goto in the future potting

I love the Japanese Pumice, as it offers great drainage during the wet Western Cape Winters. Used 50/50 with Akadama, it offers the perfect soil mixture for the majority of my trees. Highly recommended.

We are learning so much about orchids as we go through our learning experience.You have been most helpful when we need advice,thank you

I am extremely impressed with the size and quality of the Pumice. I am now using this with Ibaraki Hard Akadama small,3-5mm in a 50/50 ratio to promote growth as well as prevent root rot in my succulent and Cacti collection. It works wonders with Haworthia as well as Ariocarpus, Monkey Tail Cacti and even Aeoniums. It is really worth well and gives exceptional results. Very impressed. I would definitely recommend it to anybody wanting to improve the growth rate and general health of their succulents and Cacti.

In a time when life came to a stand still, one man went far and beyond to assist me in getting some desperately needed, Terry of bonsai tree came through....
I'm a more than happy client for life

I have and am a most happy and loyal customer. I have ordered almost everything from Terry. Akadama,Pumice,Lava Rock,almost his whole range of tools and many pots. Professional mix is still one of my favourites. My wife often says when I am on line oh you watching bonsai porn and then I am most likely ordering from Terry. Always a good buy. Kaneshin tools first I ordered over 2 years ago and are still in excellent condition and used often. I have yet to sharpen them as they still have there original cutting edges. In a nutshell I love everything Bonsai Tree has to offer and I am a regular customer. His blog is easy to follow and his advice is spot on.

Fantastic product, I use it along with perlite to create some extra drainage in my soil mix. Love it because it doesn’t end up floating to the top like perlite does. Would definitely recommend & buy again :)

I first tried this product using the samples Terry would send when purchasing. Was really amazed by the beautiful root development when combined with Akadama and crushed Leca. Product is very uniform with very minimal fine particles after sieving and washing. Pots very well when mixed with Akadama and Crushed Leca. I will probably be changing all my soil over to include these combinations.

Thank You

Experience is good, I love the product re-use able and pourous and can hold nutrients and water, drains very well

This growing medium, especially in combination with Akadama, promotes much healthier root growth and in a shorter time than traditional organic growing medium!

Great product to use

The size and texture is surprisingly consistent.
I was also expecting some dust and compaction due to handling and transportation, there was none to speak of.
Very well packaged.
Excellent product.

I am very happy with the pumice. I have used it in combination with akadama to pot some haworthias.

The product is fantastic with excellent drainage of soil and aeration.
With Lihops the soil will dry within a couple of days preventing rotting.

I'm having great success with the pumice for both my Haworthia and Cacti. Cape Town weather is quite moderate and it's important to know that the substrate will dry quickly for some of the more sensitive cacti. Roots seem to love it too!
