				Hey guys new to bonsai I bought a cheap bonsai just from bunnings was 20 bucks and the tag says it's a conical picea. Could someone shed some light on what type of fertilizer I should be using and where I could get it from, could just general purpose fertilizer that's been diluted work? I live in adelaide also

				Any liquid fertiliser will be fine. Go back to where you got the tree, they have plenty. I use Powerfeed or Charlie Carp.
