Unlock the Potential of Your Bonsai Trees with Professional Growing Medium

Transform your bonsai care routine with our Professional Growing Medium. Crafted specifically for the unique needs of bonsai trees, this blend is essential for nurturing healthy and thriving plants in confined spaces.

Why Choose Our Growing Medium?

  • Optimal Water Retention: Featuring 30% premium Peat Moss, this medium ensures your bonsai retains the moisture it needs without becoming waterlogged.
  • Exceptional Drainage: With 70% Leca, the lightweight expanded clay aggregate promotes fast drainage, preventing root rot and encouraging vigorous root growth.
  • Encourages Fine Root Development: By stimulating roots to search for water, a fine network of feeder roots develops, which is crucial for supporting the intricate structure of refined bonsai trees.

How to Use

Using our Professional Growing Medium is straightforward:

  • Be mindful of watering; this mix may dry out more rapidly in summer.
  • Consider mulching after repotting with materials like moss or pine bark to maintain moisture.
  • Add extra Peat from our Bonsai range if needed to enhance water retention.
  • Utilize solid fertilizers, like BonsaiBoost, a 100% plant organic slow-release option that works perfectly with this medium.

Perfect Blend for Advanced Care

Experience the difference with our Professional Growing Medium and give your bonsai the foundation it deserves for a vibrant and healthy life.

Customers praised this bonsai growing medium for "excellent drainage" and superior root development. The lightweight mix retains moisture without waterlogging, preventing root rot. Many noted trees showed "immediate changes in health" and "remarkable recovery" after repotting. Requires active fertilizing due to free-draining nature.

This is the main soil-mix for most of my bonsai. Love that its also super light, making the pots easy to work with.

It is great to have the guesswork taken out of what bonsai potting medium to use. My trees seem to do well in this mixture that drains well but still retains moisture.

Quality Bonsai Medium

Couldn't be happier with this Bonsai medium, excellent drainage and quality. Easy to add some extra peat to the mix for more moisture retention if needed and that's it!

Great medium that I use for my trees in “development”. Free draining and the peat moss retains some moisture and nutrients! Economical to use.

Professional Growing Medium from a professional business

I have used some of the medium for my two newly purchased Camellia Sasanquas and they seem very happy in it. Cannot wait for spring to start and then get repotting and maybe add some new bonsais to my collection making use of the medium. Have actually bought some more the past week and will collect it today.

It's amazing how ignorance styfles once growth, knowledge and development. Thank God for the internet, Terry and Bonsai Tree. I came to know the same and after chatting to Terry in person got to know about his Professional Growing Medium and offcourse purchased some towards the end last season and again resently to pot the early growers such as the Elms, malbury and Celtis species. The results and noticable difference in the trees I have used it on is huge. Better draining and nutrient absorption being the key attributes and difference. I would recommend it to anyone looking for better and healthy trees.

This medium is easy and consistent to place in containers and drains very well. The composition allows roots to develop well and does not compact. The service I receive from Bonsai Tree is phenomenal. Thank you.

Excellent as always!

I first introduced to this product by my brother who gifted me with a bag of the growing medium. I was so impressed with it that I just had to order more. The drainage is really good but also doesn't dry out too fast. It keeps a proper agreeable amount of moisture but not to a soggy extent. I can honestly say that it's a really good growing medium as my Bonsai's are thriving. Thank you for the excellent service as well as providing excellent products.

Very happy

Was really impressed with the smaller, 2L bag of this soil in the "senior apprentice bundle", so much so that I just had to buy more! I was previously using a "bonsai" soil from another nursery and after switching over to this I can immediatley see why this soil is superior. The drainage is fantastic, and after repotting one or two of my trees in it I can already see that they're looking happier. The customer sevice was also fantastic, with speedy responses (despite being weekend) and I was able to pickup the day after I placed my order! Once again very pleased with my purchase.

I repotted a few medium Bonsai size trees in this growing medium a year or 2 ago, and decided this year to repot some of them in larger containers, and could already see the difference in new root development!

Professional Growing Medium

Last year was my first bulk purchase of this product. I refrained from writing a review until I see some proper results, and I have. Within the first month from repotting I saw immediate changes in the health, strength and vigor of my trees. Highly recommended product, even if you're just starting out.

This year was my year for repotting all 25 of my trees. I did so with the professional growing medium and the trees have all taken and started new leaves a week after being repotted. I am super impressed with this product!

That's wonderful news Evadne! So glad you like the mix and I am sure your trees will do well in it over the growing season ahead.

Perfext mix for Spekboom bonsai

I use it for my mature Spekboom bonsai. It drains well, breaths well and the consistency makes it easy to use. It is a light medium and do require active fertilising. I add some Pumice to make it the perfect medium for me.

Great bonsai soil

Great bonsai growing soil. Never had a problem with it. All trees of mine have grown spectacularly in this soil. Retains just enough moisture, to not cause root rot and has plenty of drainage. I usually add a fine stone grit to it, for wieght, as here in PE, i can have my trees blowing away. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Bonsai Seedling medium

Well I haven't used it such for seedlings yet. I'm waiting for Spring to plant my Chinese Maples. However I have used it to get some slips growing. Wow how fast they have rooted. I think the structure of the medium is perfect for even this purpose of slipping

Awesome product!!

Being my first time doing this I was unsure what to choose, I used garden soil with the Professional Growing Medium and it still works very well.

My next purchase will definitely include Bonsai General Soil Mix.
