🌿 Why It Works for Bonsai
-
Exceptional Drainage & Aeration
Red lava rock and pumice stone provide structure and air pockets throughout the mix, helping prevent root compaction, waterlogging, and rot. -
Moisture & Nutrient Balance
Calcined Montmorillonite clay holds water and nutrients gently, making them available to your tree’s roots without creating soggy conditions. -
Organic Structure & Microbial Support
New Zealand Pinus Radiata bark adds organic material that helps retain moisture and supports beneficial microbial activity in the rhizosphere. -
Finely Tuned Texture
Pumice fines round out the structure, improving water flow and maintaining air space around fine root hairs—key to vigorous bonsai development.
