Here is an excellent care guide for your tree: http://www.dallasbonsai.com/care-guides/fukien-tea.html It needs good draining soil. "Bonsai" soil. You can go all inorganic or do a mix of organic/inorganic. Lava, Pumice, pinebark. Good mix. Do you have any shops in your area? Are you looking to buy it online? Either way study the species. Also you should be repotting this every 2 years approximately. They fill the pot quick.
