Description:
Small trees, big needs. Our Bonsai Mix is a handcrafted blend designed to balance water retention and drainage, providing your bonsai with the airy root space it needs. Fine-grained, grippy, and fast-draining, it supports precise watering and encourages compact, healthy root growth.
Great for classic Japanese species like Ficus, Serissa, and Chinese Elm, or even funky little jade tree projects. Whether you’re shaping a forest or just snipping your first branch, this mix has your back.
Best for: Bonsai trees of all kinds - especially indoor varieties and container-grown miniatures.
Ingredients:
Pumice, akadama-style clay, crushed lava stone, fine grit, and a dash of loam.
Plant Care
Watering: Water thoroughly, allowing excess to drain. Bonsai hate soggy feet- this mix ensures quick drying with just the right amount of hold.
Potting: Use a pot with good drainage. Refresh the mix annually when pruning roots.
Hot Tips: Pair with a shallow bonsai pot and watch your tiny tree thrive. Suitable for both beginners and seasoned bonsai artists.
