Soil Blend Ingredients
For Long - Term Soil Health & Sustainability
Pine Bark
-
Benefits: Pine Bark fines improve the structure of the soil by adding organic material that slowly decomposes, providing nutrients over time.
-
Pine bark is lightweight, reducing the risk of soil compaction and encouraging a loose soil structure, which supports root growth.
-
Contribution: It also helps retain moisture while still allowing air to flow through the soil, which is important for healthy root development in bonsai.
Lava Rock
-
Benefits: Lava rock provides strong drainage and adds a gritty texture to the mix, preventing the soil from becoming too compact.
-
It helps create a stable foundation for the bonsai roots, which is important for trees that will remain in the same container for long periods.
-
Contribution: Lava rock is durable and does not break down over time, maintaining the soil structure for years.
Pumice
-
Benefits: Pumice is a lightweight volcanic rock that provides excellent drainage, which is critical for bonsai, as they are prone to root rot in waterlogged soil.
-
It helps aerate the soil by creating air pockets, allowing oxygen to reach the roots more efficiently.
-
Contribution: Pumice also retains some moisture, ensuring that the roots have access to water between waterings without over-saturating them.
Akadama
-
Benefits: Akadama is a Japanese clay that is widely used in bonsai mixes for its ability to retain moisture while still promoting excellent drainage. It changes color when wet, making it easy to gauge when the soil is dry and needs watering, which is particularly helpful for bonsai care.
-
Over time, Akadama breaks down slightly, encouraging fine root growth, which is beneficial for the long-term development of bonsai trees.
-
Contribution: It has a neutral pH, making it suitable for a wide variety of bonsai species.
