Choosing the Right Soil for Your Bonsai

1. Bonsai soil should be well-draining to prevent waterlogged roots and promote healthy growth. 2. Consider using a mixture of akadama, pumice, and lava rock for optimal aeration and moisture retention. 3. Avoid using standard potting soil, as it can compact over time and hinder root development. 4. Repot your bonsai tree every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and provide necessary nutrients. 5. Test the pH level of your bonsai soil regularly to ensure it is suitable for your tree’s specific needs.
