Hello everyone, I have started to learn more about fertilisers and have some questions. I currently will start to dose my organic fertiliser every week.?I recently also bought fish emulsion. Can I use the fish emulsion every 2 weeks at the same time as the other organic fertiliser?in the trees that I want to grow more or is that too much fertiliser? Also, how much liquid fertiliser should each bonsai get when it is mixed with water if the bottle doesn't say? For my azalea's are there any specific fertilisers I should use for them despite being already in kanuma soil which is acidic? Are there any fertilisers that help with flowering? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.?

Fish emulsion is organic fertilizer.
Nitrogen feeds green growth and phosphorous feeds flower and fruit. If you want to encourage flowering, go for more phosphorous and less nitrogen. The only organic fertilizer awailable in my market that have high phosphorous and low nitrogen is bat guano from fruit eating bats. There may be others at your place. If you want to go mineral, there are lots of options.

Thanks, so how long before flowering should I start feeding a fertiliser with phosphorus?

In order to make any difference, phosphorous should be applied right before buds starting to form.
