Bonsai soil mix was created by Rhirliman

Hi
I have a couple money trees, ponytail palm, a mugo pine and a Chinese Elm. I'm going to start mixing my own soil I have lava rock, pumice, and I could only fine small grain akadama. Will that be alright to use? And what else should I add to the mix? I know they require different portions of material for different tree mixes. I was just curious to if I was missing something valuable. Thank you
Robert

For Mugo Pines and Chinese Elms check the care guidelines on this page, or Google to find expert information.
For money trees and ponytail palms, go to a regular forum for houseplants. Ponytail palms in particular are not suitable for bonsai.
