Akadama Ibaraki Triple Line Substrate (10–18 mm) 14 L

The Sustrato Akadama Ibaraki Triple Línea (10-18 mm) 14 L is one of the most prestigious and widely used substrates in the art of bonsai worldwide. Imported directly from Japan, it is a highly pure volcanic clay that has been dried at high temperatures after extraction, guaranteeing its hardness, strength and long-term structural stability. It is then carefully sieved to provide uniform granules of 6 to 10 mm, designed for bonsai trees in medium or large pots.

Thanks to the hardness of its particles, this substrate offers optimal water and nutrient retention, which are released gradually to the roots. This property is essential for maintaining a balance between moisture and aeration, preventing waterlogging and ensuring that the root system develops healthily. In addition, its porous structure promotes excellent drainage and constant oxygenation, two key aspects for the growth of fine and vigorous roots.

The neutral pH of Akadama, together with its high cation exchange capacity (CEC), allows better absorption of the nutrients present in irrigation water or supplied through fertilisers. This results in stronger, more resilient plants with a greater ability to assimilate essential elements. In addition, this substrate can be used on its own or in customised mixes together with other components such as pumice, kiryuzuna or volcanic gravel, adapting to the needs of each bonsai species.

Considered for centuries as the benchmark substrate in Japan, Akadama Ibaraki Triple Línea is an irreplaceable choice for enthusiasts and professionals seeking to ensure the optimal and healthy development of their bonsai trees. Its reliability, quality and tradition make it the perfect foundation for maintaining balanced trees with well-structured roots and vigorous foliage. With this substrate, your bonsai will benefit from a natural environment that reproduces the best growing conditions.
