I need a little help with my soil mix…I’ve used “John Nakas” soil recipe here for years and it has served me well…The high summer heat in the Sacramento area has increased year by year…I find myself watering twice and sometimes three times a day…Everything in one and two gallon pots hold moisture just fine…When I repot into shallow Bonsai pots they dry out over night…”Constantly watering”… Knowing your location what would you recommend as a good soil mix to help hold moisture for a longer period of time in shallower pots?
