If you do use fuller's earth, then I'd recommend only using it on something you don't mind killing. This sounds a bit snarky, but is not meant to be - when I experiment with plants, I never do it with something I'd hate to lose. I know bonsai can be expensive. I have added additional negative experiences with fuller's earth into my answer. | |

The guy from the video is a bonsai grower and 50% of his soil mix is an absorbent clay which is 100% fuller's earth (at minute 4:40). And it does not turn into mud when wet at all. It absorbs water and nutrients in a way the plant can access. If the cat litter is made of the same materials, in theory it should work. | |
