As an important part of bonsai, soil plays an important role in bonsai. For different bonsai, the requirements for soil are different, and there is no uniform standard. So what we are mainly talking about is what kind of soil does the stump bonsai need?

Different stumps have different living habits. Some like fertile soil, others like barren soil; Some people like acidic or alkaline soil, which varies from person to person.

Of course, the growth of bonsai is not entirely determined by soil, there are other factors, such as air quality, nutrition, daily drinking water and so on. So how to match the soil specifically? Let's just give a few examples.
