    Fertilizing

    in Member's General Discussions

    Can anyone recommend where to get fertilizer or online shops and do I use different ones for pines vs deciduous trees?

    Thank you Jim for the info. I will check them out for sure. You can never have too many sources. Funny thing is I have an orchid now for 10 years and have never fertilized it or repotted it and every year it amazes me with the most beautiful blooms. I finally bought some orchid fertilizer the other day but I'm sort of feeling skeptical about using it! Or, shall I say superstitious! Be well and be safe.

    Just some added info for the future. Fertilizer is a subject that rivals the perfect soil mixture. Bio gold is one of the best. I like the shape and how it stays in the soil. But check out Sumo Bonsai, Superfly Bonsai and Stone Lanterns’ fertilizers. They all have organic fertilizers. Fish mixtures and seaweeds are add’l additives used. Not to confuse you but to give you exposure to different products. So you can develop an understanding. I use organics but mix them up, just in case one has a little different make up than the others. Have a good search and good luck.
