How To Use

• Water your bonsai thoroughly before fertilising to prepare the soil for nutrient absorption.
• Sprinkle the recommended amount of fertiliser granules evenly around the base of the plant, avoiding direct contact with the trunk and leaves.
• Lightly mix the granules into the soil surface using a small hand tool or chopstick.
• Water the plant again to help the fertiliser reach the roots. Apply every 10 days during the growing season.

Dosage Guide:

• Small bonsai pots: 1 level teaspoon per pot
• Large bonsai pots: 1 level tablespoon per pot
• Young bonsai trees: 3 to 5 tablespoons per plant
• Older/larger bonsai: 5 to 10 tablespoons per plant

Pro Tip: Avoid over-fertilising, which can harm your bonsai – always follow the recommended dosage. Reduce or stop fertilising during winter dormancy and for 4-6 weeks after repotting to allow roots to recover. The root-strengthening properties of this fertiliser make it especially valuable when preparing bonsai for display or after significant styling work!
