I just got a bonsai’d money tree from Home Depot. She’s isolating but I need to repot her into something with drainage and some air flow. Should I use well draining soil designed for bonsai or my standard soil for house plants?

Do not use regular potting soil. Get a bonsai specific soil for sure. Bonsai also usually like a shallow pot, so maybe have an alternative ready when you got to repot.
