Balanced Fertiliser

Post by Jonesy »

From time to time I read advice which says Bonsai Fertiliser should be equally balanced, ie PNK 10:10:10.

I can't find a commercial fertiliser which fits that criteria. Any suggestions?

Hi Jonesy
If you are fertilising natves a phosphorous level that high would kill them. You only want NPK to be about 5/2/5 at the most for natives.
