10/10

Good product. Highly recommended.

I really like the content and grain size of this soil. It stays put, stays moist enough but not wet and integrates with the plant roots very well.I’ve used more coarse soil and have issues with it staying in place especially in smaller pots with smaller plants.It contains Lava, pumice and akadama. No orchid bark and other junk that holds excess moisture of impedes even root growth.Root growth season is almost upon us and we’ll see how prolific the growth is with this soil vs a more coarse soil.

I received this shipment from Amazon, sold by Bonsai Outlet and commenced to repot a little juniper I bought at the Chicago Botanical Garden spring bonsai show. I took a workshop aimed at design of nursery stock juniper. Mine happened to be the winner of the workshop judging so I wanted to get it established in a nicer training pot. I bought this soil and repotted yesterday. The soil is nicely uniform with a perfect mix for conifers. It won’t compact which ensures great drainage which is critical with juniper. Pumice, slate, lava rock, and horticultural charcoal…very satisfied. Highly recommend if you are working with conifers (juniper, black pine, white pine, larch, cedar, etc.)

I’m not an expert when it comes to Bondai, but I did my homework prior to purchasing this particular brand. All the reviews I read agreed the soil mix was highly compatible with bonsai type plants particularly Juniper style plants which is my choice in Bonsai. My Bonsai appears to be in great shape after repotting.

I’ve planted the cuttings in this recommended soil, just this week. I’m hopeful with seller’s guidance to have a good experience with Will and Willy, my two willow bonsai cuttings.

I am grateful to Bonsai Outlet for consistently providing the best soil mix. By combining their premium blend with their all-purpose blend, I’ve been able to maintain my bonsais’ health and vitality for years. Their quality products are the only ones I trust for my bonsais.

I recently took up growing bonsai trees as a hobby. Obviously I have no idea what I'm doing. But this product came fast, and is quality!Ps I'm trying to enter the monthly giveaway on their website, but I can't find where to put my Amazon number.
