5 GALLON COARSE SOIL MIX

Up for auction from Wigert’s Bonsai Nursery in Florida.

This coarse mix allows for better drainage, and better ramification of the root system. The mix is composed of 3 equal parts: Lava rock, Stalite (Expanded Slate), Pumice with the sifted Pine Bark. We wash and sift all the stone and screen the pine bark prior to blending. This removes any fines that may cause excess water retention. The mix looks great in pots, the lava rock adds a nice red color to the mix. Stalite (expanded slate) contains the porosity, CEC, and capacity to store 6-8% moisture in the voids of the particles. We highly recommend this soil medium. It works very well for tropical bonsai trees and may other species.

We ship 5 gallon bags of soil Fedex Ground. Delays are always possible with FedEx ground service. For faster delivery consider buying our 1 gallon bag of soil which ships USPS priority mail.

PAYMENTS:

GUARANTEE:
At Wigert’s Bonsai Nursery we guarantee that you will receive a healthy plant from us. We will ship your item promptly after payment is received. YOUR SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED.

We will pack your plant to our best ability in order to provide the safest shipping. We will do our best to protect ceramic pots, but they can break during shipping. We will not replace damaged pots. It is normal for plants to drop some leaves, flowers and fruit during and after shipping.
Some plants are photographed with flowers, we cannot guarantee that flowers and fruit will hold during shipping. If leaves drop, new growth should re-sprout in a few weeks if the plant is kept in an appropriate condition.

Most of our plants are tropical and ideally should be grown outdoors in tropical climates or in a greenhouse. However, it is possible to grow any plant indoors if the appropriate conditions are provided. Research growing plants indoors and see what you can do to help improve your indoor growing conditions.
