Haydite Soil Conditioners have become a favorite of bonsai growers through the years, and for good reason. soil's amended with Haydite provide optimum conditions for healthy plant and root growth. Manufactured from expanded shale, a product produced by firing shale at very high temperatures in a rotary kiln, Haydite is very absorptive, yet durable. It will not break down with continuous exposure to moisture as many other soil conditioning products will. Produced with the highest quality shale and manufacturing processes, you can be sure of the finest materials available.

Haydite’s porous micro-surface texture and interior porous structure resist clogging and  provides superior aeration that promotes  growth of delicate, fine root systems. Problems of soil compaction and drainage are significantly reduced when Haydite is properly proportioned within the soil. The soil remains resilient because moisture and air movement are not restricted. Haydite provides the optimum condition for fast, healthy plant growth.

At right is a greatly magnified photo of a Haydite particle showing it's unique porous internal structure. The process of firing select shale at 2000 F. causes expansion and vitrification  of the shale creating what might be referred to as a ceramic sponge. As a result Haydite has a great capacity for absorbing and storing water. As the soil dries this stored water migrates back to the soil helping to maintain optimum moisture levels.
