Professional Bonsai Soil - 20 LBS (10 Quarts)

Description

The most important thing for the health of your bonsai tree is using a good bonsai soil.

A high quality bonsai soil will prevent you from both over watering and under watering.

It will help get the perfect amount of air and nutrients to the roots of your bonsai tree, and drastically slows down soil compaction that can give your tree the dreaded root-rot!

Our unique bonsai soil is produced by expanding and vitrifying select shale in a rotary kiln at temperatures in excess of 2000 degrees.

This process makes the soil sterile and environmentally inert.

It's a natural non-toxic, highly absorptive ceramic granule with a generally neutral PH. It is dimensionally stable and will not degrade like other amending products.

A good bonsai soil profile is approximately 25% water, 25% air and 50% solid particulate matter. When soils are compacted, an imbalance occurs. Solid particles are pressed together, and water and air are squeezed out.

With less pore space, soils become too dense for the movement of air, water and nutrients, and the favorable environment for the beneficial microbial activity necessary in a healthy growing medium, is lost.

Our professional bonsai soil absorbs excess water during rain or watering, then slowly releases this excess water as the soil dries acting in effect like a time release capsule.

This is the soil we recommend you upgrade to during your next repotting.
