Are these clay particles for soil mixtures??

I have been trying to find some clay grit or fired clay particles that should be mixed with the soil to give good drainage. As explained in my beginners book.

I am stationed in China so its harder because nobody seems to use these materials, they all use very dark soil.

Clay 1 - is what seems to be commonly put on the to of planters. Can I mix it with my bonsai soil?

Clay2 left side - small pink rocks with little holes in. Is this fired clay?

Clay 2 right side - round pink pellets. turns out this is food! is it suitable for bonsai.


I want to mix this clay with sand and organic matter?

Ohhh the trails of persuing new hobbies in a foreign land!!!!!!!!!!!!!
