Shiviproducts Organic Bonsai potting mix
Nutrient rich potting mix
We provide a well curated mixture of fertilizers for bonsai plants. Organic potting compost is made up of peat moss, perlite, and sand. On its own, it retains too much water and doesn’t allow for proper aeration and drainage, but as part of a soil mixture, it can work very well. Fine gravel / grit helps to create a well-draining and aerated Bonsai soil.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I REPORT MY BONSAI TREE?
When leaves starts becoming yellow and the roots start drying;should report your bonsai.Cut down all damaged roots and remove the infected soil from the roots.Repotting work normally needs to be done during the early spring; when the tree is still in dormancy.This way the somewhat damaging effect of repotting on a tree is reduced to a minimum, as the tree does not yet have to sustain a full-grown foliage.
HOW TO CHOOSE RIGHT POTS FOR BONSAI
A pot with extreme reliability,effective drainage and suitable airing should be used.Pots made out of bonsai friendly clay mixture should be used.The depth of the pot should generally be the same as the circumference of the trunk at its thickest point.For round or square pots, the width should be a bit less than the widest point of the branches. If it’s oval or rectangular, the pot should be roughly 1.5x as wide as the branches.

Effective for bonsai
I used it when my bonsai was already not in very good health. After a month of outdoor exposure & exposure to rainwater it has started growing into a healthy tree.
