12 Gallons 1/4 Inch Monto Clay pH 5.6 (Montmorillonite Calcined Clay) Bonsai Soil Amendment (48 Dry Quarts)
$149.60
Monto Clay ®, short for Montmorillonite clay, is a fired clay product used to amend soil. Montmorillonite is sold under other brand names such as Turface MVP®.
The advantage of Monto Clay is the 1/4 inch particle size. 1/4 inch particles prevent dry spots, poor drainage and settling which can create acidic shock. Ideal for use in bonsai soil, cactus soil, succulent soil, hydroponics and amending soil to increase drainage.
Montmorillonite is known for its cation exchange capacity(CEC). It’s also a great acidifier. The acidic properties help offset the alkaline properties of other ingredients such as pumice and lava rock. Monto clay is a great substitute for Akadama.
Condition: Screened, Tumbled, Dried and Bagged.
- Similar properties of hard Akadama.
- Uniform 1/4 inch Particle size prevents dry spots, poor drainage and settling.
- Acidifying soil amendment
- Pathogen free high fired clay
- Available in 2 quart, 1 gallon, 2 gallon, 3 gallon, 6 gallon, 12 gallon and 24 gallon SKUs.
Monto Clay® comes from the same company, mine and processing plant as Turface®. It’s the exact same product, only larger. Although this is technically 1/4 inch Turface we are not permitted to sell it as Turface®. This is because it conflicts with the Turface brand name. The folks at Profile products were kind enough to manufacture this product to our specifications. This product is exclusive to the Bonsai Jack product line.
