½ gallon / 2 dry quarts of Bamboo or Bonsai Plant Potting Soil Mix. Soil is packed in a resealable clear poly zip bag. Soil can be stored in the bag as long as its kept dry.
Custom hand blended soil prepared in Maryland, USA from Baby Violets.
Potting Soil Mix can be used for lucky bamboo, bamboo shoots, rhizome bamboo, cherry bonsai, fig bonsai and desert rose bonsai plants.
One bag of soil can fill, 22 (2" pots) or 11 (3" pots) or 4.5 (4" pots). Please note, this is an estimate and the amount may vary slightly, based upon plant stem and root size.
Soil contains 50% peat moss & 50% perlite. There are no extra additives to this potting mix and no fertilizers. The perlite (super coarse), provides extra drainage and is chemically inert and sterile. This is a lightweight, airy soil mix. Not dense, compressed or compacted.
To use this mix, make sure to wet the soil completely, mix 1 cup soil with 2 cups water, add water slowly, 1/2 cup at a time, blend with fingers, mix till soil is no longer dry and is moist. Can leave soil + water mix overnight to make sure all the water is absorbed and the soil is moistened properly.* Do not re-pot the plant with dry soil, first moisten the soil mix in a separate container/tray and then use moist soil to re-pot the plant.
