  • In this video, we will explore the reasons behind feeding our bonsai trees. It is not that we are all doing it incorrectly, but many of us may not fully comprehend the advantages of feeding or the underlying reasons for doing so.
    if you are interested in the watering hose in the video

    Bonsai trees, despite being pruned to maintain their diminutive size, still require adequate nutrition for growth. Unlike trees planted in the ground with extensive root systems for nutrient absorption, bonsai trees in pots face limitations. The soil in bonsai pots tends to lose nutrients rapidly due to the tree's uptake and the leaching effect of watering. Therefore, to ensure the well-being of a bonsai tree, it is essential to consistently replenish the soil with necessary nutrients.
    [Do's:]
    - It is advisable to use fertilizers regularly as they are crucial for the well-being of your bonsai and promote robust and vigorous growth.
    - Kindly take the time to understand the specific requirements of each species, as different species may have varying fertilizer needs at different times of the year.
    [Don'ts:]
    - Please refrain from feeding trees when they are not actively growing, as any unused fertilizer will accumulate in the compost, potentially leading to an excessive buildup of salts.
    - Kindly avoid feeding trees that are not growing due to poor health, as nourishing a sick tree is unlikely to stimulate growth and may cause further harm.

    very concise and accurate Callan. the don'ts were important to hear, i always back off come high summer due to the salt in the fertilizer. never done seaweed drenches....do you notice a definite difference in growth (even subtle is significant imo )?

    • @Rojin_Bonsai
      @Rojin_Bonsai  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks, Jon. It's definitely best to take a break from feeding if high temperatures are above 30 degrees Celsius for long periods. Salt buildup can accumulate quickly, especially in trees that are repotted less regularly. I would use something like an empty tea bag to help reduce salt. Liquid seaweed is an absolute must-have for me; I almost attribute my success in growing to it. I don't notice any faster growth, but when combined with a granular feed on rotation, you can definitely see a difference compared to just sticking to granular. Plus, it makes the trees look more vibrant in their color. 😅

      @maylucriandesigns If you can get some calcified seaweed, adding some when repotting can help promote a strong root system and vigorous growth. It's something I didn't mention in the video. 😉
