perhaps those are large pieces of fired clay. the mixture i use has components of that, peat, and large grained river sand.

if you're talking abt the orange bits, thats osmocote slow release fertiliser.

Well done , try and keep it alive :-) in your location perhaps you will get your own fresh seed at some point. If you do let us all know as they seem to be very rare here.
Best Wishes
