What kind of soil is best when re-potting? Can one use just regular potting
soil? BRBR No, bonsai do best in bonsai soil. There must be someone in Canada selling it. In the absence of obtainable bonsai soil, I would use about 1/3 finely ground pine or fir bark, 1/3 fired clay particles (like Turface), and 1/3 crushed granite chicken grit, with 10% charcoal added.

soil
Oh there is special bonsai soil? I will have to look at my local garden
gallery, thanks. In the absence of a brand name bonsai soil, would the materials you mentioned be available at a gardening store?
