Hi,
im still learning and I know I have a lot to learn. last week i repotted my Buxus Bonsai as it was really unhappy, really pot bound and still in nursery soil.
question I had is around the soil. I bought some "Bonsai Soil" from a garden centre which said contains Kyodama. I can see the grains. I have since found a soil mix on ebay from a bonsai shop which is 1/3 John Innes, 1/3 Akadama and 1/3 Kyodama and looks a better structure (I welcome comments on this mix by the way).
Is my box in the soil I put it in? it feels quite dense when watered and the tree didnt need anchor wires which surprised me. I didnt want to go changing the soil again so quickly unless i was putting the tree at risk
