Bonsai originated more than 1000 years back, and the practice has evolved on the practice we understand today but little change towards the fundamental principles. It is believed that originally bonsai was generally known as Punsai - the concept of growing an individual tree specimen in a pot. These Punsai had gnarled trunks and little foliage and became desired, evolving into the bonsai practice we view today.
Root rot is often a death sentence for any bonsai tree, and may rapidly wreck many years of expansion of your tree. Furthermore, badly selected soil is likely to break apart, demanding the roots be cleaned annually. This is particularly bad for pine bonsai trees, as well as junipers. If you wish to take advantage of soils vulnerable to breaking apart or rotting, as an example organic soils, you'll want to ensure that the tree you take advantage of this soil type with will be able to handle root bearing at least one time or each.
