Chinese bonsai soil??

[Joe Dupre']

Anyone knows what soil the YouTube Chinese bonsai people use? I watch a lot of videos from all around the world and can't figure out what the Chinese use. I've seen them use soil that looks like anything from gray sand to red clay. Most of it is really fine too. People from India use some puzzling soil too.

This is the kind of material I'm talking about.

People in my native country of Vietnam using it too...I think it's like clay soil mixed with sand...It's really hot there so they can benefit from the water absorbency I guess.

That’s just clay mixed with some organic stuff.
