  • Advice on this soil.
Size: 4 Quarts
It arrived today and I checked it out. Based on my 35 years of bonsai enthusiast experience, I’d say it deserves 5 stars as a very good professional mix. I usually make my own soil for cost reasons, but I’m glad I bought this. If you are new to Bonsai, here is some advice regarding this soil. You already know that really can’t put bonsai trees into bonsai pots using 100% potting soil - (the typical retail store potting soil that you buy for houseplants). In general, 100% potting soil will eventually kill most bonsai trees in bonsai pots due to drainage issues. (Big pots, used for more rapid growth as training pots are a different subject, but generally speaking most types of potting soil for houseplants are nit suitable for bonsai trees in smaller pots - unless used in small amounts). This soil is vastly different than typical potting soil. It’s a combination of chunky materials, about a quarter inch or less in size, and if you use it as 100% of your soil, your trees, generally speaking, will be very happy — PROVIDED YOU ADOPT the highly attentive tree care attitude of a bonsai enthusiast. This is excellent soil for the tree - and it puts the burden on the user to properly care for the tree. That last sentence, in my opinion, is the right way to begin creating Bonsai as a hobby. Please read on... I have some tips below. If you tend to kill your houseplants through lack of knowledge and attention, this bonsai soil will not change that outcome for your bonsai. If however, you can develop a greater awareness of your trees’ needs, you can be successful and this soil will be a big help in growing trees you can be proud of. The words “greater awareness of your tree’s needs” means, on a daily basis wondering - 1) Is it too dry or too wet, and 2) on a weekly basis, does it have the nutrients it needs. — (other awareness issues like temperature, sunlight, rootbound, insects, are secondary issues to the matter at hand, as we’re talking only about the bonsai soil.) This soil drains very well and will dry out fast because (by design) it’s without much organic material to soak up water. It will strongly resist the development of a very serious common problem called root rot caused by drowning the roots in poorly draining soil. Separately, this soil, when compared to potting soil, is by design, lacking in the many nutrients bonsai need. Bonsai need added nutrients. So, to make up for what the soil does not provide, high quality slow release granules can be added periodically or high quality, heavily diluted liquid fertilizer can be used daily or weekly depending on the dilution level and instructions. If you are inexperienced, seriously consider mixing this soil with more organic material, especially if your tree is outside, out of your view, and it doesn’t rain every day. Adding more organics will help hold water and will reduce the frequency of watering and the amount of fertilizing. If you forget about watering on a sunny, hot day, it may save the tree. When adding organics, its best not to add a lot of finely powdered material like dusty peat moss. Too much water retention is unhealthy. Try to use materials that will tend to be chunky or gritty and drain, like slivers of pine bark/mulch, dried compost, dried earthworm castings, potting soil that’s not mostly peat dust or loam muck. Consider adding organics so that by volume, your additions make up to 10, 20, but not more than 30% of the final mixture. Stay away from adding 20% or 30% organics if what your adding is going to be wet muck once its in the pot. To sum it up. In my opinion, this will be a very good bonsai soil when used skillfully. If you’re new to bonsai, I think it is a well designed, robust soil to start with as your basic foundation. I suggest experimenting with this foundation by adding other materials, organic, depending upon the care requirements of the tree species, the pot, and the environment that your trees will live in. Please keep in mind that I’m not a professional, and I don’t own or work for a bonsai nursery. I’m just an enthusiast, who despite many bonsai training classes at an awesome bonsai nursery, has learned to create Bonsai the hard way. ... show more

  • Ad says 5 gallons, really just 3 gallons
Size: 20 Quarts
The soil mix appears to be good, but the quantity is short of 5 gallons. I placed it in a five gallon bucket (see photo) and it is about 40% short.

  • Is this a good value? I don't think so.
Size: 20 Quarts
I'm not normally a "frugal/leave bad reviews" kinda guy, but this purchase was disappointing. It just so happened that I went to a local Bonsai shop today to browse around and I purchased the labeled bag on the left for $44.95 (before discount). Got home and my Amazon order came in. It looked kinda skimpy so I put them side by side. They were both going in the garage until Spring anyway. The one on the left is 16L. The Amazon bag is 20 quarts, which is about 19L (see description above). I weighed them as they both contain essentially 1/3 each of clay, pumice, and lava. 28 lbs. for the left brand ($44.95). 20 lbs. for the right ($60). So with your purchase, you'll be getting 2/3 the weight for a 33% higher cost. I know there's variation in bagged goods and you get free shipping with PRIME. But there should not be this much difference, especially since the bag on the left is a top seller. ... show more

  • This soil used with a juniper bonsai
Size: 2 Quart Bag
I am a beginner when it comes to bonsai, but my juniper bonsai is about 2 to 4 years old, was a gift, and was in a regular potting soil mixture when I received it. I wasn't sure what to do so I ordered this soil so I could re-pot my juniper. This soil came on time, but I had never seen soil like this before, it kind of looked like wood chips and I didn't want my juniper to die, so I mixed this soil with a potting soil of about a 75 to 25 ratio and my juniper seems to be doing well, producing new buds and staying green. This soil lets the water run out the bottom of the pot more freely while the potting soil holds the moisture in for my juniper. This soil is a 5 star product and when I need more I will purchase again. ... show more

  • My go-to bonsai mix
Size: 2 Quart Bag
This was the first bonsai potting mixture I ever purchased, and I'm a fan. I've used it with a Fukien tea and combined it half and half with commercial succulent/cactus soil for jade plants and an elephant bush, and all of the plants have put out plenty of growth indoors next to south-facing windows over the past seven months. I wanted to try a mix that I could make myself if necessary (no fussing with akadama), and this 1:1:1:1 ratio of pumice, lava rock, pine bark fines, and turface/calcined clay does the trick. It is expensive to buy 2 quarts, but currently the 20 quart option is a steal and a better deal than what most people would find if they sourced the individual parts. I like how heavy the mix is when working with smaller trees; it keeps the pot stable and the plant snug, potentially eliminating the need for wire to tie the root ball into the pot. The particle size is not as consistent and a bit larger than that of some competitors like Bonsai Jack, but again this helps to secure plants in their containers. With that said, this wouldn't be a good purchase for mame bonsai. The material is sifted beforehand, so with the 2 quart bag you can dig right in when your purchase arrives. However, if I got the 20 quart option I would most likely sift out fine particles to be cautious and avoid clumping. ... show more

  • Cannot Recommend
Size: 2 Quart Bag
Based on the experience I had with this "stuff," I cannot recommend Bonsai Soil All Purpose Mix. My beautiful bonasi of 8 years lasted about 3 weeks once planted in this product. I was completely shocked to see how dry this product was only hours after watering it. So, I have moved on, starting over, and will never buy this type of material again. Obviously, I do not believe it is worth any amount of money so the "value for the money" is the only criteria I graded. ... show more
