Bonsai, being grown in pots, cannot obtain sufficient nutrients from the soil alone. Therefore, the use of appropriate fertilizers is essential for the healthy growth of bonsai.
Bonsai fertilizers mainly contain three major nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Each of these nutrients plays a role in aiding plant growth. There are types of fertilizers such as liquid and solid, each with specific advantages. Liquid fertilizers are fast-acting, allowing roots to absorb nutrients immediately. On the other hand, solid fertilizers have a slow effect, providing nutrients over a long period. The timing of fertilization depends on the type and health of the tree, but generally, it is optimal from spring to autumn.
Fertilizer management for bonsai is important for maintaining the health and growth of the tree. By understanding the type of fertilizer, method of fertilization, and timing of fertilization, you can promote healthy growth of bonsai and maintain beautiful bonsai.
