RE: 2018 Monster Garden: In progress... [Gardening]
This one started as a cutting that another bonsai grower gave to me after I bought some bonsai soil from him. I really wish he still sold bonsai soil. My supply is almost gone. At least I still have this awesome tree.
Luckily I don't struggle with getting my hands on bonsai soils. I pay through my teeth but at least I know it works. When I can't get my hands on a pre-mix, I tend to get some river sand, perlite, peat moss, fine-ish gravel - I don't like lava rock all that much since I found that it kind of reduces growth rates. Not sure if there is actual research on that. Either way, at least nurseries and garden centers etc are almost never out of stock on these.
