Live Oak Soil Mix
Hey All,
I was wondering if anybody knows what would be a good soil recipe for coast live oak bonsai. The soil my coast live oak is in now is like 100% rock. Is this a good mix to stick with or should I add some organic material to the soil next repotting season. Thanks if you can help me figure this out. Your Friend, Adam. |

Re: Live Oak Soil Mix
By the time repotting season rolls around, the tree's health will tell you if you need to adjust the soil. Oaks want well drained soil. If at the time you repot the tree is doing well, it is in a good soil for your conditions and watering habits, if not, adjust it accordingly.
For oaks, I use a blend similar to pines. Most oaks want a soil pH on the slightly acid side, so using an organic fertilizer or periodic application of miracid fertilizer may be a help. Regards, Matt
