Even the smallest tree needs nutrients from time to time. We show when and how to fertilize your bonsai and which fertilizer is best suited for this. Just like with its free-growing conspecifics, the care of a bonsai includes the regular supply of nutrients.<\/p>\n
The correct fertilization does not only depend on the plant species that was raised to become a bonsai. The location, the season, and the weather conditions are also reflected in the nutrient requirements.<\/p>\n
Also, the culture in high-quality bonsai soils brings a few special features. This must also be taken into account when choosing the fertilizer, the amount of fertilizer, and the time of fertilization.<\/p>\n
