Description

2 lb. (1.6L) BGI Select Bonsai Soil is packaged in a clear, zip-lock bag.
There is enough bonsai soil to pot up two (2) 7-inch bonsai pots.

BGI Select Bonsai Soil is specially mixed at our nursery from three different elements to provide free passage of air and water to root systems while significantly reducing soil compaction.

Unique to BGI, it is the perfect blend of Turface (fired clay), Organic Compost, and Lava Rock. Natural and non-toxic with a generally neutral pH, it is dimensionally stable and will not degrade like other amending products. There is no need for it to be re-applied year after year.

A good bonsai soil profile is approximately 25% water, 25% air and 50% solid particulate matter. However, when soils are compacted, an imbalance occurs. Solid particles are pressed together, and water and air are squeezed out. With less pore space, soils become too dense for the movement of air, water and nutrients, and the favorable environment for the beneficial microbial activity necessary in a healthy growing medium is lost. BGI Bonsai Soil absorbs excess water during rain or watering, then slowly releases this excess water as the soil dries - acting in effect like a timed-release capsule.

Use the soil by itself for best results. Mixing it with other soils is not recommended.
