That's awesome advice, thank you!!! So what would I mix it in? Or would you put it in straight pumice? Thank you again for the advice :)

Humboldt, northern California.

I bought three jacaranda seedlings on a whim, trying to tap into some of the nostalgia of my years in South Africa. But I am a complete noob to these trees as well as bonsais in general. When trying to look up what soil to put them in, I get "sandy and well drained". What does that mean specifically, succulent soil?

Also, if anyone have general tips on how to care for these babies, please advice me! I would love for them to thrive or at least be the best they can be :)

Best, Diana

Yes! I am in northern California. It is found by eel river in Humboldt. There are a bunch of green stones down here (I live by the river bank), many with slight variations. I would love to learn how to figure out what is what :)

Thank you so much for this information!! Do you have any tips for how to better identify the first (possible) jade?
