Bonsai Soil
The essential property of and bonsai soil is that it drains freely and allows air to circulate around the roots of the tree to keep them healthy. Bonsai soil that does not drain well will not allow the roots to breathe and can result in root rot. It is essential that your bonsai soil has these properties and old, compacted bonsai soil should be replaced at the appropriate time of the year for the tree.
Most bonsai soil has a very low nutrient value and that means that feeding can be managed and controlled better. Liquid bonsai feeds are good for indoor bonsai trees and and slow release bonsai feeds are good for outdoor bonsai trees when using with low nutrient bonsai soil.
New bonsai soil should be introduced every time trees are repotted and not the old bonsai soil reused. The addition of mycorrhizal fungi has massive benefits when introducing new bonsai soil to trees and actively helps the trees re-establish quickly. We have a basic repotting guide available for download in our bonsai care section and we also offer free advise on what kind of bonsai soil will suit your tree best
