Bonsai Soil Mix Ready to Use 10 qt, Fast Draining All Purpose Potting Soil for Bonsai Tree, Ideal for Root Development, Made from Akadama, Lava Rock, Pumice and Pine Barks

Nice mix

AWESOME ADDITION TO MY BONSAI COLLECTION.

This is my second purchase of this bonsai soil. I do not actually use it for bonsai (as I haven't quite moved in yet to my residence) but I have added it to soils that were somewhat water-logged and planted a number of plants demanding or preferring well-drained soil. I find it is a wonderful 'additive' to other soils (I realize this is not why it was created) and well as a superb soil for cactus, succulents, and anything else that is very sensitive to over-watering (am I the only one who consistently does this?!). Not cheap (hence 4 stars on value) but a fine addition to all your gardening/planting needs. I know I'll be purchasing again, and in higher quantities when I'm ready to go back to growing specific bonsai. Highly recommend.

I like the natural appearance of the product the fact that it drains really well and it was easy to exchange it for the old soil

Very good

This is not bonsai soil. This soil resembles orchid soil. It is 85-90% pine park/ organic matter. The rest is large clay chunks or stone. I am disappointed with this product and advertisement of it. I would NOT recommend this to anyone using this for actual bonsai soil.

As a medium for seeds that had been sprouted. Might try it as a mix in for cacti.

This mix sounds like it has all the right ingredients for good bonsai soil - lava, pumice, akadama, and pine bark. In reality, it seems to be nearly half very fine pine bark which will break down quickly and retain too much water. It seemed like a good price but just contains too much of the cheapest ingredient. This mix is not suitable for most medium and large bonsai (unless mixed with some additional pumice or lava), since it will tend to stay too wet and lead to root rot. It looks like it might be ok for very small bonsai pots that dry out too fast in a normal bonsai mix. I used mine in some small pots with seedlings in development.
