I live in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne VIC. It hasn't been to cold yet today was around 23 Celcius.
Thanks so much for the help!
I am actually doing a day course at the place I brought it from that teach you alot about bonsais. How to care, trim manipulate etc so hopefully that teaches me more

Nice. I have had a bed in St Kilda three times now. Twice for a few months, and once for about a year. Melbourne is one of my global favorite cities (Along with Rio de Janeiro and Brisbane), yet I cannot seem to take the decision to move to Oz permanently.

I have never been out of the country

But alot of people that I meet from other places really like Melbourne. Australia as a whole is a great country for anyone to visit I think. One thing I can knock on Melbourne is the weather. It can be very random haha

Easy way to fix that. Leave the country for a bit.

I think it's too low in Phosphorus to be used as a general fert in Spring, but as the N is high it will promote growth.
