Use this brand
As most any soil will work for bonsai, this one is specifically for trees / shrubs.
Good Luck

This site will tell you what is used to mix a suitable soil. If there’s nothing marked specifically for bonsai you can use this for a guide.The gentleman who mixes this soil is a professional bonsai artist.
I find that most commercial mixes are too heavy and compact too easily around the roots of my plants so I lighten with some extra perlite and vermiculite. These are both good for water retention.
Go to a nursery that’s knowlegeable about bonsai. Home Depot or Lowes aren’t very knowledgeable. Or you can but the soil online
