NOHOBE 2lb Japanese Kanuma Soil – Small Grain for Acid-Loving Plants, Bonsai, Azaleas & Blueberries

NOHOBE 2lb Japanese Kanuma Soil with 1/8–1/4 inch small grains

Designed for acid loving plants, this naturally acidic substrate delivers a crisp, porous texture that promotes drainage and air reach to the root zone. Mined from Japanese volcanic deposits, it arrives without artificial additives, keeping your growing media pure and straightforward.

The material typically maintains a pH range from 5.5 to 6.5, making it a thoughtful choice for blueberries, camellias, rhododendrons, and select succulents. The small grain composition creates a light, crumbly mix that reduces compaction and supports steady root expansion.
