Bonsai pot balls was created by Allen Joe

I noticed on several posts on Instagram that bonsai will have small plastic balls on the top of the soil. What are those? And what are they used for?
Thanks,
Allen

Bonsai do not have small plastic balls on top of the soil.

Could be osmocote (not made of plastic)

The ones that look like jingle bells are the ones I saw. Thanks for letting me know!
