If there's nothing marked specifically for bonsai you can use this for a guide.The gentleman who mixes this soil is a professional bonsai artist.

I find that most commercial mixes are too heavy and compact too easily around the roots of my plants so I lighten with some extra perlite and vermiculite. These are both good for water retention.|||Use this brand

As most any soil will work for bonsai, this one is specifically for trees / shrubs.





Good Luck

Or you can but the soil online http://bonsaicareguide.com/fertilizer-and-soil/|||i think you would have to go to a nursery.
