JBP and Hinoki Cypress Soil

[bobbywett]

Hello Folks,

I'm getting ready to repot some JBP and Hinoki Cypress cuttings I purchase a few weeks back. I'm looking for sources of bulk suppliers for Akadama and also recommendations for soil ingredients and mix ratios. I'm having a hard time finding bulk akadama and any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,


Bobby

In PA I'd look to Jim Doyle at Nature's Way.

Or use crumbled Chocolate bar tinfoils.

I use akadama, lava and pumice in equal ratios for JBP and Hinoki.

Nature's Way is one place you should be able to get those

I picked up my pumice there last summer, but was hoping to find a bulk supply of akadama. I believe Jim only sells it mixed?

Check out Bonsai Jack. They have mixes here: https://www.bonsaijack.com/category/premixed-bonsai-soil/

They show the percentages of ingredients for their mixes. I have been in the market myself, so I've been shopping around. The prices there are competitive as well.
