How to make bonsai tree Soil Mix

[@YouCanIwill]

I have watched no less than 200 Bonsai soil videos.....this is by far the most informative by ratio and purpose of elements...Thank you sir

[@StephenTurnerVlogs]

Excellent video. It's very easy to digest. A couple of things to go off and research like the soil triangle. Also, do you riddle your soil that you've bought, or is it general bagged according to particle size?

[@MaKeBonsai]

Thank you! Yes! I riddle the soil for size I need.

[@StephenTurnerVlogs]

@@MaKeBonsai I'd have never thought to do that. I just assumed the bag was full of the same sized stuff. Thank you.

Many thanks！ can I substitute pumice over perlite?

I've heard that this free draining soil is not a good choice for an established old bonsai tree. Is this correct? I have a 35 year old Chinese Juniper and don't plan on changing soil for another 2-5 years. I'm just curious if this information I have received is true or not. I live in the United States in Texas.

[@MaKeBonsai]

I for one don't find that to be a problem with my older trees. A well aerated growing medium, I believe can only mean healthier roots their symbiotic fungi that support the bonsai by breaking down their nutrients for them.

[@lofi_bonsai]

free draining soil isn't bad for refined or "finished" trees. larger particles are good for quickly developing youner or newly collected trees.

Thank you very much for this video. I was wondering if you could recommend any shops that sells akadama online, (we don't have them locally) i would like to try one as i only use riversand as my potting medium.

[@MaKeBonsai]

Best Google Akadama for your region most decent bonsai shops will have some in stock.

Your videos are very helpfull papa. Thank u mister

I've seen some of your repotting videos, why do you add sphagnum moss on top of your soil and what is the very fine green moss? you put on last?

[@MaKeBonsai]

The Sphagnum moss i use to help keep the surface at the top of the soil moist. This ensure that the root at the the top are not constantly drying out, making another cm or so at the top available to bonsai roots permanently. The green moss I use eventually feeds of the sphagnum moss and re-places it long term and off-course it ends-up looking natural and enchanting when it sets well :)

[@brian83011]

Do you collect, make or buy the green moss, whats it called? Really finding your quick and simple videos helpful thank you

[@MaKeBonsai]

Check out this video to see how I grow green moss. The secret is to collect locally grown moss that grows short and in the sun. I find the best place for this is large car parks, as it tend to dry out regularly, but the moss persists as soon as it rains. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2LQe3aYnqyWnM0

[@sacramentallyill]

It acts as a mulch, retains moisture.

[@KaydeBrooks]

How can I make my own Bonsai soil??

[@rahanasameer5127]

where do you by these soil for bonsai

[@MaKeBonsai]

most of them are imported from Japan

[@onigaijin9259]

Really love your videos but the audio is almost always really low making it hard to hear. Which is extremely frustrating. And yes I do have my volume all the way up :)

[@MaKeBonsai]

Noted Oni! I shall work at that.

[@patrickbowen5398]
