Hello!
I'm sort of new to growing trees and plants, so obviously I started searching for tips on how to grow them.
I would like an explanation on turface - I think it is an absorptive rock, but I would like to hear from other people too. I tried translating the word, but no translation for it in my language.
What is the best absorptive rock to use in a soil? I'm trying to grow some succulent plants, and the soil I wan't to make consists of 1 part pine bark, 1 part crushed granite and 1 part turface.

My recommendation would be to ask this question in a forum about succulents. This is a forum about bonsai.

Fair enough, thought I'd give it a try.
Is there any trees that would require a soil mix what consists of turface?

Do not ask what trees need turface. Decide what tree you want to acquire and look at what it needs.
