Middle grain (5 - 10 mm): to be mixed or to be used as drainage layer. This granularity is frequently employed fort he cultivation of Yamadori and pre-bonsai.
The Japanese Akadama ("red earth") is characterized by dimensional stability over several years, good drainage ability and excellent air permeability

Bamboo charcoal, 3-5mm (medium)
Bamboo charcoal to improve soil properties.It has excellent antibacterial properties and increases the colonisation and reproduction of microorganisms.Mycorrhiza thrive better and trace elements are increased and more readily available.The charcoal contains calcium and potassium.As it is alkaline, it improves the pH value of acidic soils in particular.Origin: Japan

Ectomycorrhiza
Fungal spores added to a peat substrate as a soil stimulant.
"Mycorrhiza" describes a form of symbiosis between fungi and plants.
The mycelium of mycorrhizal fungi encloses the root tips of ectomycorrhiza and it penetrates the outer layer of the bark. In case of endomycorrhiza instead, the mushroom pnetrates the root cell of the plant and can no longer be detected by the naked eye.
In this way, the absorbing surface increases from a hundred to a thousand times, which increases markedly the water and nutrient uptake capacity. Many studies show that mycorrhizal plants are able to better cope with stress situations. In particular, their resistance to dryness and their capacity to survive heavy frost increase. The plant’s susceptibility to diseases reduces considerably and nutrient shortage is no longer to be expected.
Ectomycorrhiza are especially important for the following trees:
Acacia
Birch (which also needs Endomycorrhiza)
Beech (which also needs Endomycorrhiza)
Douglas fir
Chestnut
Oak (which also needs Endomycorrhiza)
Ash (which also needs Endomycorrhiza)
Spruce
Common hornbeam
Hazelnut
European hop hornbeam
Pine
Larch
Linden (which also needs Endomycorrhiza)
Poplar (which also needs Endomycorrhiza)
Fir
Elm (which also needs Endomycorrhiza)
Walnut
