How to make Bonsai Soil Mixture (Fast & Easy)

How to make Bonsai soil mixture 

Bonsai Soil making is very tricky as the soil must have the correct ratio of all the mixture as more percentage of any particular will lead to dryness in soil or sogginess, let's talk about the contents to be added in soil mixture to make the best soil mixture.

These are the common soil mixes we can use in our bonsai soil-making:

1) Garden topsoil

2) Sand

3) Fertilizer

4) Cocopeat

How to make the mixture & Ratio:

Ratio will be

* Garden topsoil    -60%
* Sand                   -10%
* Fertilizer            -10%
* Cocopeat            -10%  
                            _____
                            100% (Bonsai Soil mixture)

1) Garden top soil:

 Garden topsoil, garden soil is best for the nutrients for the plants as the plant will grow well only when the nutrients in the soil are maximum and in the best ratio, as the nutrients decrease Bonsai growth stops. So regular fertilizer must be given. The fertilizer will increase the nutrient content and the Bonsai growth will increase.

2) Sand:

Sand in the Bonsai Mixture is significant as it will play the best role in draining water. Sand will not hold the water and allow the water to drain easily from the pot from the drainage hole. The root will also spread easily in the bonsai soil mixture.
But the sand doesn't contain any nutrients or a bit in the soil so we have to mix fertilizer for the best growth of roots and plants.

3) Fertilizer:

Fertilizers play an important role in the growth of the Bonsai Soil Mixture as the soil contained in the pot is very little so regular fertilizer giving is very important. Bonsai growth depends on the supply of nutrients in the soil if, the nutrients decrease then the growth of the plant will also decrease.

The timing of fertilizer given is also important as the best season of fertilizer is in the growing season because plants require nutrients in their growing period and slow-releasing fertilizers are best.      

          

4) Coco-peat:

Coco-peat is a very light material that allows the roots to grow best as roots can spread easily because of their lightweight nature. Also, the plant's health increases as it can grow more fibre roots to grab nutrients from the soil, so adding the cocopeat to the soil mixture is essential for the benefit of Bonsai Growth

Conclusion

So this is the easiest way to make the Soil Mixture for Bonsai or Bonsai soil mixture for the Bonsai and the mixture will have enough nutrients in the soil for the plant for 1 year then we have to replace the bonsai with a new soil mixture after one year and meanwhile the fertilizer must be added periodically so that the does not feel the deficiency of nutrients.
