Tinyroots Bonsai Soil Mix - All Purpose Ready to Use Blend for All Varieties of Bonsai Trees, 4.5 Quarts

About 8 days since repotting my tiger ficus bonsai in this soil and it’s only lost 10-15 leaves and that’s with a root prune. I bought my ficus originally online and so glad I decided to get this product. The nursery peat soil was so saturated just like a sponge it would’ve probably in time gave root rot. Almost all the leaves are still nice and green, turgid, and upright — very little wilting or drooping which you can expect sometimes up to 50 or more leaves total fall so this stuff works wonders !!

Easy to use, not much dust. Small package but works for about 2-3 plants. I use in other plants not only bonsais. Did not bring bug eggs. Will buy again.

So far so good. Fast delivery

First off - this is good bonsai soil. I have used the all-purpose soil twice over the course of 3-4 years to repot my bonsai (two varieties of ficus, kept indoors). They have thrived, so I have no real complaint. However, I have noticed soil inconsistency in the bags themselves. The bag I had 2 years ago was much more fine and closer to dirt, the bag I ordered the other week was mostly small porous lava rock (perfectly fine and expected), but the second bag I ordered a day later of the same was more mixed with mulch/fertilizer (had a distinct manure smell). These were all the same all-purpose bonsai soil, but came out starkly different. Again, they all worked, but I would prefer better consistency in the same advertised product.

Perfect mixture for bonsai plants, and bonsai starter plants.

I ordered this bag of all-purpose bonsai soil from Tiny Roots for my Chinese Elm, and my tree is absolutely thriving. Before repotting, it was struggling with yellowing leaves and excessive leaf drop. Just two weeks after switching to this soil, the tree is bursting with bright green foliage and growing like crazy. The larger soil particles provide excellent drainage, which is especially important since I live in a rainy area. So far, I haven't noticed any mold growth or unpleasant odors—both great signs of a high-quality mix. Considering it's a specialty soil, the price was quite reasonable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to give their bonsai a boost.

Actually no soil in this at all. I hope using it hasn’t killed the bonsai plant I repotted.

Waiting to see just got and used so far my plants seem to be staying nice and healthy no soggyness
