my kind of soil mixture for bonsai is simple , though there are readymade mixture available in market.
following are the ingredient :
1. Course sand : some of tou might wonder why sand? .as you know a rock is made of different minerala and sand is mixture of different rocks . so adding sand to soil not provide necessary minerals to plant but make soil porous .locally available sand can be used free From any unwanted material.
2. Coco Peat : available at local gardening /seed supplier shop in brick shapes.
though it can be prepared at home using coco husk. Grind coco husk in food processor. throw away long strainds.
3. Matured cow dung : a matured cow dung is dark brown/ black in appearance and free from any odour.
Take all the ingredient in equal amount . Mix the thoroughly .Place wire mesh in pot's drainage holes.Pour a layer of soil mix the place your Bonsai plant .now keep filling the pot to the top.
