I was researching Akadama and I came to the conclusion it is basically pumice that had a lot of organics on top for a long period of time. The organics were decomposed by fungus and bacteria, leaving only the Humic, Fulvic acids and compounds that were indigestible by microbial action. Those acids then leached into the pumice over a long period of time, giving Akadama its darker color and properties.
Does anyone use any those new-fangled humic/fulvic acid and beneficial bacterial and fungi supplements? They are purported to increase uptake of nutrients and contribute to microbial health in the roots.
I used them this year on my potted Salvia, Cuphea, Lions Ear and lantana this year (using homemade 5-1-1 potting mix) with excellent results.
I was wondering if anyone used them or had an opinion pertaining to their potential value in bonsai.
