I got 10 Zelkova (Japanese Elm) seeds and i am wondering what kind of soil to use. the package says use "starter soil" but does that mean bonsai soil or just normal potting soil. Can I just us normal potting soil to start the seeds and then buy bonsai soil once they sprout?|||Shultz Seed Starter Mix would work well. It contains plant food so you don't have to fertilize.

Takes years and years of pruning to get this: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/im鈥?/a>
There is no way to plant a seed and get a perfectly formed bonsai - bonsai is a technique: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0ge鈥?/a>|||Seed starting mix is usually a mix of peat moss and perlite which drains fast. You wouldn't want to use fertilizer in a starting mix for Bonsai, the cheapo stuff that runs 2 bucks a bag at Walmart should work fine.|||Moistt.. ?
