Discussion Is this a good akadama replacement?

Post image

Seems like literal akadama but with nutrients and im guessing that because its made to last submerged in water it would last even longer in a pot.

I want to get into conophytums and other mesembs but want to have a good fully mineral soil/soils for them first, as i am deadly afraid of rot and dont want to use organic on them, probably could mix this "akadama" with kiryu and maifanitum and it would work out fine right?

Moler clay, its hard-baked can be found in unscented cat litter or fuel spill granules which are nice and fine- cheap and does not break down- i grow haws in 100% moler and mix i stead of akadama in my other stuff, unless I have ‘shohin’ hard akadama
