What is it?

Japanese pumice, or Hyuga as it is known in Japan is a naturally occurring volcanic product from the south part of Miyazaki Prefecture in Japan.

Hyuga vs Pumice

These two products are very similar in characteristics however due to the manner in which this Hyuga is formed in nature it is slightly softer and more porous than conventional pumice. In fact Hyuga is so porous it will sink, which reduces erosion when watering. 

Due to the porosity of Hyuga aggregates in your growing mixes it enhances:

  1. water retention
  2. nutrients
  3. oxygen

It is suitable for a wide range of plant species as it has an essentially neutral pH of 6.

How to use?

Japanese pumice is highly recommended for more demanding succulents as well as acid loving rhododendron (including Azalea), general pot plants, orchids and it of course forms a crucial part of many bonsai growing mixes.

If I had only one soil component to use for bonsai it would be 100% pumice. If you have akadama, add some. - Michael Hagedorn

As Hyuga will not under normal circumstances break down it can be sifted and re-used however if you intend doing so a disinfecting treatment using Sporekill is strongly recommended to reduce the risk of spreading fungal or bacterial issues.

Hyuga can be combined with other elements such as akadama or peat (no more than 20% of the total mix). Due to the good drainage qualities of hyuga it is very often used to assist a sick tree to regain vigor and health. In such a case 100% Japanese pumice may be used.

For typical growing conditions, a ratio of 1(akadama) : 1(pumice) can be used. For plants which prefer more moisture you can double the quantity of akadama.

Sturdy but hard to use
This bar is sturdy and doesn't bend but the bars are too close together making it difficult to hang towels on. Pro: sturdy and quality made Con: hard to use

Perfect for my needs
I don’t have many towel racks in my bathrooms and they’re hard for me to reach because I’m disabled. I bought a couple of small over the door racks, but they’re too small for hand towels. I didn’t have high hopes for this adjustable rack, I thought it would uncouple and fall from the door. I’m pleased to say I was wrong. There appears to be a stopper keeping both sides in place. I like that it has 2 bars, I easily put my face towel on one and my hand towel on the other. If I have a complaint, I wish the whole unit was another inch longer.

Perfect fit & couldn't be easier to install
Even though I measured I wasn't sure about the size or how the extending would work. It works very well and seems to stay securely in place fully extended. The felt pads are a nice touch and make sure it doesn't move around as you place & remove towels. It looks great. As far as people who've commented that the metal's a bit thin; well is a bit on the thin side but for kitchen towels I don't see that being an issue. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Pure Perfection!
Color: Black
Love this addition to my sink! It holds dishwashing liquid, hand soap pump, spounges, scrapers, and dish rag with room to spare. Any liquid will drain from the multi-directional spout right into your sink. The materials are all metal, no flimsy plastic dish rag holder.

Well made and sturdy.
Color: Black
Very sturdy and well made. Doesn't slide around every time you touch the soap dispensers like our last one.
