Where to buy soil from? was created by Luisa

Hi all, hope you're well. I'm very new to the bonsai world, so please forgive my ignorance.

I am half way through the stratification process for my Red Maple (Acer Rubrum) and Silver Birch (Betchula Pendula). Whereas my Mountain Pine (Pinus Mugo Pumilio) has germinated beautifully. It's now time for its first potting. I've read up on what type of soil it requires, i just don't know where best to buy it from? Any ideas on which soil is best for Pine?

Thanks in advance,
Luisa

your basic potting soil will do fine for seedlings.

As above Said. For seedlings any potting soil from your local garden center Will do.

When bigger and needs proper bonsai soil, check out herons bonsai.
