WISCO GOLD SUBSTRATE AND OTHER MEDIUM

NO ON-LINE SALES - IN PERSON SHOPPING ONLY
WISCO GOLD is the flagship and impetus product behind the creation of Wisco Bonsai. As we all know, there is much debate, discussion and science revolving around the substrates we decide to plant our trees in. I have no desire to enter into any debates about the merits of Japanese substrates (because they are good and work well), though I will say that I have an aversion to using vital  (and nonrenewable) natural resources to ship volcanic detritus around the world at exorbitant prices that will only increase as demand goes up and supply dwindles.

It was because of this that I decided to create a substrate completely sourced from North America, while still being on par with anything imported from elsewhere.

What I came up with is not earth shattering or re-inventing the wheel... It is simply a well thought out, combination of components that work in harmony to provide a healthy growing environment for your prized trees.

This hand-sifted, sized and mixed substrate combines Pumice, Lava, Expanded Shale (Haydite), Kiln-Dried Fir Bark and a pinch of Horticultural Charcoal - all to provide excellent water holding capabilities, drainage and a safe haven for beneficial microbial life. The shape of the particles was even taken into consideration to avoid soil compaction with maximum aeration. These are also components that will not perceptibly break down over the course of normal repotting schedules in any way other than to contribute to the health of the "Pot-O-Sphere". (As with all "coarse" substrates, it is advisable for certain species to cover your planting surface with sifted sphagnum moss to help "lock" the surface of the substrate in place, and reduce surface evaporation.) Available  in the following particle sizes:
 
WISCO GOLD The "regular" size stuff, great for most all your needs.
WISCO GROW The BIG stuff for blowing up trunks, collected material, transition mix, etc
WISCO MICRO* The tiny stuff great for your wee trees, accents, etc. (*has additional ingredients)

I believe your trees will be very happy sitting in a pot full of Wisco Gold !!!
 
We also carry Kanuma, small Pumice, various sizes of kiln dried Fir Bark, Muck, Sphagnum Moss, along with small bags of Lava and other amendments from time to time.
