Why Use?

Westland Bonsai Potting Mix contains unique Seramis granules for optimum water and nutrient availability. The granules absorb water and slowly release to create the perfect climate for your Bonsai tree to thrive.

The added wood fibre creates an open structure for improved aeration, drainage and water management.

Growth & Re Potting

Select a young tree or shrub and pot it up in Westland Bonsai Potting Mix using a small pot. For the next 2 3 years regularly trim the roots and shoots.

When the bonsai tree is ready to be transferred to its permanent container, fill the container with Westland Bonsai Potting Mix and secure the tree in the pot with wire.

Before planting trim the roots so they fit into the container without having to be bent or forced. Keep the plant out of the sun and water frequently to allow it to recover.

Re-Potting Bonsai

Each spring take your bonsai out of its pot and inspect the roots to see if plant needs potting on.

Even if replanting in the same pot tease out the old compost and trim roots before adding fresh Westland Bonsai Potting Mix. Keep it out of the sun and water frequently to allow it to recover.

Handy Tips

Water once or even twice a day during summer, but less frequently in winter. Always ensure that excess water can drain freely to avoid root damage.

Westland Bonsai Potting Mix will supply your plants with all the nutrients they need for the first 6 8 weeks. During spring and early summer, feed your plant with Westland Bonsai Feed every two weeks.
