Hello,

I have had a read through and found that fertalizers are good for my little bonsai... However I am reading that diffrent NPK levels have diffrent effects on the Bonsai...

Could anyone explain to me what these are and when I should be using them?

So as an example...

What the Nitrogen does for the tree and when to have more Nitrogen?
What the Phrosperous does for the tree and when to have more Phrosperous?
What the Potassium does for the tree and when to have more Potassium?

Many Thanks

James

I know, I have trouble remembering which is which, too. Hope this clears things up!

Nitrogen thickens trunk and promotes leaf growth
Phosphorous helps promote root growth
Potassium helps promote flower growth

Remember tho, too much of anything is bad

Thats great thanks for your replies you have been most helpful!

Many Thanks

James
