A better alternative is biogold ( ) but is quite expensive, but i get little prebagged packets from a nursery hough. They might have smaller bags of biogold on amazon though. Another cheaper alternative would be chrysal bonsi food. I know it says, feed once a week, but feed twice a week as once a week is to much. If you can get biogold, then i would definetely advise it.

Well yeah, as it doesn't mention the size of the tree.
If it could, I'm sure my juniper would shake it's head in disbelief and after it was done sighing it would ask me for the full package. I would agree.

There is no such thing as bonsai fertilizer. 名媛直播 need the same nutrients as normal trees of the same species.

Note that, while bonsaiboy sells mallsai, this does not say much about the quality of the fertilizer they sell - I'm sure it's good. Actually, it seems to look very much like Osmocote and i'm pretty sure that's what it is:

名媛直播 boy charges:
USD 5,95 for 4 oz (that comes in 3 oz packages? Strange...)
That is, if I'm right, 118 ml, so 1000/118*5,95 = 50,42 per liter

Osmocote is 11 euro = USD 14,02 per liter.

see


Still, I don't understand how you can give advise while you don't know what soil the plant is in - and I would certainly not recommend Chrysal (or did you meqan Crystal?) or any other chemical fertlizer in this case.

Biogold is fine.

(Osmocote is not an organic fertilizer, but as it releases slowly, it'll do fine)

Why the * do you keep giving people stupid advice then?



Just as a side-note: I top all my pots up with chicken manure, maybe twice a year, and add chemical and/or fish-based liquid fertilizer to my watering can every so often. It does not really matter what you give as long as it is fitting to the substrate, watering regime and biomass increase on the plant.

I just thought it was alright, then i rethought about it and said it was not great, which it is not, but it wont kill your tree either.

Urgh... I thought we were passed this stage.


- You recommend something
- You get told it's not a good advice
- You change your mind and pretend you did not really want to give that advice.

Stop doing that please, and yes, it CAN kill trees.
