Description

Akadama Soil is a natural, baked volcanic clay originating from Japan, prized for its excellent water retention, aeration, and structural stability. Commonly used in bonsai cultivation, it has also become a popular choice for bioactive terrariums and planted enclosures due to its ability to regulate moisture and support healthy root systems.

In terrarium setups, Akadama works well as part of a drainage or substrate mix, improving aeration while holding enough water to maintain a humid environment. Its granular structure prevents compaction, making it suitable for isopods, millipedes, and other invertebrates that benefit from a stable and breathable substrate.

Whether used on its own or blended with other substrates, Akadama Soil provides a reliable, natural foundation for both plants and invertebrates, promoting long-term health and stability in your enclosures.
