Preparing the Soil for a Bonsai Under Planting
A good loamy soil mix is ideal for most plants one chooses to grow; cacti and other such flora will need a well draining, sharp sandy mix. Cover the drainage holes in each pot with broken pieces of clay pots or durable screen patches. Add the soil halfway to the top of the pot and pack down well.
Next, arrange each plant in an attractive manner adding hills of soil and deepening any holes as needed. Keep in mind that an entirely flat planting will detract from most arrangements. The goal is to create a real looking landscape; something one would find in nature or a person’s garden.
Finish adding the soil around each plant, pack in, and water well with a water-soluble fertilizer. Do not pack the soil too tightly.
