Bonsai Soil

I think any plant grower would agree that, the soil is the most important aspect for ensuring good growth. For the bonsai the importance of soil is even more accentuated, as the plant gets limited amount of it to grow in. In this discussion we would try and understand the characteristics of good bonsai soil.

• The soil should have good aeration and drainage capabilities. For this the soil should have a rough and spongy texture. Along with good drainage abilites the soil should also have good moisture retaining capabilities as well. Moisture is crucial to ensure growth of fine roots.
  


• Soil could either be acidic, having pH value less than 7 or alkaline with a pH value greater than 7. The kind of soil to use, will depend on the kind of tree and the climate in which it is being grown. Most bonsai do well in a neutral soil, having a pH range of 5 to 7.
