- Akadama (Fine) - One pound of imported Japanese deep mined Akadama. This inorganic substrate is renowned for it's moisture retention properties, while allowing for air flow to the roots. Since every species is a little different, they all require varying medium mixtures for ideal growing conditions. Mix in with the base substrate mix to achieve the perfect medium for your Jade Bonsai.
- 3mm Anodized Aluminum Bonsai Wire - The most important accessory to help turn a young tree into a Bonsai is Bonsai wire. This wire is the perfect gauge to start shaping your Jade into the masterpiece it will become. We recommend using 3mm gauge so that you can shape the branches and trunk, without geting too tight, so as not to scar the bark.
- These shears are a precision cutting tool. But instead of Carbon Steel they are machined from Stainless Steel and equipped with a plastic handle for a more comfortable feel. Plastic Long Handle Shears are 8" long and 3" wide at the handle.
