This is THE Bonsai Soil to get!
This soil is world class! I bought this for 2 beginner class Ficus Benjamina’s I’ve had for 3 years and repotted about a week prior… but I used peatmoss and perilite and within days, one plant started had leaves turning yellow and brown and dropping several a day. I realized the soil was staying too wet and ordered this soil that’s been on my wishlist immediately. Received fast in 4 days and was able to repot as soon as the soil arrived last Friday afternoon… and SAVED my dying Ficus! I was down to 5 leaves and took off 2 more that had turned color a little too much, so 3 good ones almost a week later. I did watch The Bonsai Supply video where they had to revive 2 Ficus and took all leaves off, so I may do that to the one tree, but can see it rebudding already, so gonna give it a week or two. Water drains EXTREMELY well! I bought the giant bag for only 2 trees… needless to say, I’m gonna need more trees! Looking forward to your next YouTube tree auction. Thanks for making this great peoduct so easily available and mixed to perfection. Also love your YT content. Thanks!!!

Excellent mix
I got this Bonsai Soil about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I have used it for several succulents and orchids. They are doing great in it! It drains very well while holding enough water to prevent drying out. The bonsai mix is composed of pumice, lava, clay, and tiny pieces of pine bark. Bonsai soil provides 70 different trace minerals to your plants. It's great for plants that require air and don't like to be moist as garden soil would do. I would recommend this.

Bonsai Specific Soil Mix
This is a soil mix specifically made for bonsai plants to promote optimum growth and health. The soil consists of four main ingredients: Pumice, Lava, Calcined Clay and Pine Bark Fines. These core ingredients help with drainage, preventing root rot and with the watering process. The soil has a very light feel to it and you can easily see how it will not compact if overwatering occurs. All the aggregates are made in the USA. Highly recommend for your bonsai tree!

cool bonsai soil mix
I'm just getting started with the art of bonsai and this soil mix looks pretty cool. Along with providing adequate draining to prevent root rot, it also has elements that would absorb nutrients to release slowly back to my plant. I'm currently using this soil mix to train a little peach seedling to be a bonsai. I started with a peach pit and now have a little seedling. Only time will tell if this will work out, but I am very hopeful. This soil mix would provide a good start. It also looks cool.

A Great gritty mixture
This is a fast draining coarse blend mixture designed for Bonsai trees. Because of the great drainage, it is also a wonderful medium to plant succulents into to lessen the possibility that the roots will rot.
This mixture has nutrients in it that gets absorbed into your plants. It is ready to use as is or can be mixed with other soil or medium. Comes in an environmentally friendly bag.
This is a great product

my wife says she likes this soil mix
I am writing this review based upon the opinion of my wife. She tells me she likes the soil mix. It is very much similar to what she would custom mix herself for her bonsai plants and some other plants she uses this type of soil. So far, she says the soil seems to be a good mix for moisture retention. She has yet to transplant a plant out of this soil into another container, so she cannot vouch for the root growth. But she expects it to work very well.

The right soil matters
About 3 years ago I decided I wanted a Bonsai type plan in my kitchen window. I consulted my local nursery and they recommended an Adenium (aka. Desert Rose). They recommended I transplant the plant into a Orchid pot, I took this to also mean using Orchid soil. Well for the last three years the plant would sprout some new leaves and they'd pretty promptly fall off (but regrow). I'd never been able to get it to flower or for the primary plant to get any larger. I finally took them some pictures to my nursery, trying to blame the problem on Covid-19. Well they were not buying that, but they were surprised I'd not managed to kill it. They were pretty sure that any instruction that they would have given me would have included use a course sandy soil, like a Bonsai mix. They were probably right, I heard Orchid pot and thought pot/soil. They told me that the Adenium is really a desert plant. And as long as the primary plant/stalk was still firm the plant would likely survive and bloom with flowers in a couple of years. But be patient, maybe 1/2 cup of water per month in the winter, and 1/2 cup every other week in the summer. They explained that Bonsai soil allows most of the water to drain through the soil. Orchid soil retains the water and remains moist, exactly the opposite of what my slow growing Adenium needs. Orchids live in rain forests, Adenium is from the deserts of Egypt.
I thought I could hear them laughing at me as I departed. But lesson learned the right soil is important especially for certain types of plants that won't tolerate the damp environment (will just cause the roots to rot). Well the student has learned that porous nature of Bonsai Soil is very important, and pay closer attention to what your told. This soil is exactly what my Adenium needed.
