Bonsai Boy's Professional Bonsai Soil – 2 lbs. (1 Qt.)

Description

Those who practice the fine art of bonsai have known for years the very
special qualities that professional bonsai soil imparts to soil mixes. Its
unique properties help provide free passage of air and water to root systems
while significantly reducing soil compaction. This unique bonsai soil is
produced by expanding and vitrifying selected shale in a rotary kiln at
temperatures in excess of 2000 degrees F. This process makes the soil sterile
and environmentally inert. It is a natural non-toxic, highly absorptive
ceramic granule 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. Our professional bonsai soil absorbs excess water during rain or
watering, then slowly releases this excess water as the soil dries acting in
effect like a time release capsule. Use as a blend with your soil mix or by
itself. 2 lb. bag Professional bonsai soil – granular form
