kk, i'll try to find for that.. if it's something like N10 P10 K10, it's still the same thing right? since it's the same ratio..
woah N46..in wiki it says N is for leaves, P for shoots and roots. if use the N46 de will the roots and shoots grow?
i'm sorry for so many questions, just wanna know more 'bout bonsai xD
Hi Infrasonic,
It's o k that you can use any type of fertilizer. the most important point is that you don't over apply.
Over application of inorganic fertilizer will result in accumulation of soil acidity (especially in a pot)
and your plant will get leaves burn or even die.
The reasons I recommended N46 is that it can act as a growing thrill for plant. Nitrogen is one of the main
contents for photosynthesis and healthy leaves is the major factor for any plant or tree to grow well.
Over application of N46 don't actually hurt the plant but instead of growing it cause the plant to become stunted. (telling thru' practical experience)
You can actually see your plant's leaves not only become greener but also with a waxy surface after applying thin N46 solution for your plant a couple of times.
Don't worry about of the other minerals needed by the plant if you have used the correct soil mix.
Another point I would like to mention in the use of N46 is that the plant will keep on growing big leaves, that's what we don't want in bonsai.
My suggestion is that use N46 to your young bonsai until you think you bonsai is big enough than stop, repot, defoliate your tree than use the slow releasing bonsai fertilizer
that will give all the balance of N P K.
Of course once a month applying diluted N46 solution will help your bonsai look green and healthy.
Well, what I can tell is from trial and error. If u like to know more scientific knowledge about inorganic fertilizer, u can always go to Google and find out.
