Hello to all. Ryan mentions that someone is running a similar test to Apical but in Europe.
Does somebody know anything about it and can provide some info and links to similar companies like Apical in Europe?
Regards from Serbia.

On the UK site of Eurofins they offer something that should give similar results not sure how their service is internationally, the Dutch version offers the same analysis. If you can freeze dry samples shipping won’t be an issue. I would still caution this is an advanced analysis aimed at professional growers that have substrate, water and fertilisation under control. It is not a miracle cure that will solve beginner problems I would only recommend if you have an advanced level of bonsai growing (which based on your youtube you have so feel free to ignore that last part).

So you can also buy your own kit for major nutrients not cheap but not crazy either and allows for basic tests one more specimens.
