Fine volcanic gravel

The best substrate for bonsai and cacti

Available in 2 granulometries, 1-2 mm. and 2-4 mm.

It has a stabilized pH between 5.5 and 6, which makes it an excellent support for cultivation.

Akadama Substitute and Enhancer

Greater contribution of minerals

We have always read that Akadama is the best substrate for bonsai, bonsai began to be cultivated in Japan and Akadama is a Japanese volcanic substrate that was used from the beginning, and therefore it has always been believed to be better , it is not like that, it is simply the substrate that was used in the beginning, but its mineral content is much lower than the mineral content of volcanic lava gravel.

Akadama and volcanic lava gravel are both of volcanic origin, both are light and porous, they maintain humidity, perfect for bonsai and cacti, but in favor of volcanic gravel we can say that it provides a greater amount of minerals, 27% more silicon, 12% calcium, 10% more magnesium and 3% more iron.

Volcanic gravel is better than Akadama

The volcanic gravel substrate decomposes little by little with the irrigation water and this decomposition provides minerals to the bonsai, essential micronutrients such as calcium, magnesium, iron and silica, therefore your bonsai will be "better fed" and in a way more complete than using akadama.

Color for your bonsais

Red/brown/garnet in color further enhances the beauty of bonsai.

Great Necklace Organizer at a Decent Price
Color: Beige
I really like this necklace organizer! The storage capacity is phenomenal and the dividers fit in perfectly! It is easy to assemble and for the most part, stays assembled. I got so many necklaces in the five drawers and they look so beautiful in their felt lined compartments! I feel that I got a good value for the money that I spent and will probably order a second one since I have so many necklaces.

Great option for holding lots of necklaces
Color: Grey
It holds a lot of necklaces. Especially ones with thinner chains. It gives you the option because there’s dividers that you can use any way you want. I probably have between 30 to 40 necklaces and this five drawer holder, and it takes a very little space on my vanity.

Liked it so much I bought a second one
Color: Grey
Good quality….a little disappointed I thought the sections were stationary, however I’m able to move them to accommodate the chain size. Clear color and light weight. Fits in with my decor. I ended up buying g a second one I liked it so much!

Dividers don’’t stay in place
Color: Beige
The dividers do not stay in place. It’s a great idea but not well executed because the dividers pop up or slide, leaving the necklaces to get tangled.

Slots inside drawers are not tight enough.
Color: Grey
I got an earring storage bin that matches this one and I do like this storage drawer set, but the little slots that separate the necklaces move around too easily and I don’t like that. It looks classy with the other stack I have.
