SuperFly Bonsai's Imported Japanese Hyuga Pumice

Hyuga Pumice is commonly used in bonsai as soil for many different types of trees. You will find Hyuga primarily in soil mixes as it is the primary water retaining ingredient. One of the biggest benefits of Hyuga is it's ability to retain moisture while allowing air to the roots. Hyuga pumice generally will not break down over time so it can be used over and over again.

Is It Dirt?
No. Bonsai trees do not like "dirt" and will in most cases die if left in dirt over long periods of time. This is substrate.

What Is In It?
Japanese Hyuga Pumice is a type of Volcanic rock


How Do I Use It?
Repot your bonsai tree in this soil or mix it with other bonsai soil amendments to create your own soil. Be sure your bonsai pot has holes in the bottom covered by bonsai mesh.
Each micro climate may require different amounts of water. On very hot/dry days you may need to water two/three times while around freezing you may need to water just once per month. Push your finger 1" into the soil and feel for moisture. If it is dry, it is time to water.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Do you know average size?

    Most of it is 5-6mm

  • Is this pumice inert like regular pumice?

    It is inert.  The biggest differences are the color (slightly grey) and it is a little less pourous than most American pumice.
