As we are in Autumn around here and the leaves from my Ume are already falling, so it's time to prepare for winter.
Out goes the BioGold and Tae Gold, in comes the Hanagokoro organic fert.
N4 P5 K2 to prepare some of the winter flowering species (Prunus Mume, my deciduous bougie, Prunus Serrulata Sakura, Camellia Sasanqua) and to store some energy for the pines and junipers.
Let's see the results soon, I hope.

Hang in there. Let me know when snow arrives!

As the weather in unpredictable nowadays with all this climate warming, I wouldn't be surprised if we got snow around here.
Last week it was 10C in the evenings (outskirts of Sao Paulo) and it went down to 4C in Santa Catarina mountains.

Good to hear this.

Clicio, how do you apply this? Looks the bag it appears all in Japanese on the front. Are there directions on the back in other languages?

Coincidentally, I was just looking at fertilizers and was wondering how to apply.

My sympathies over the weather. Do you have a sweater?

Ah, yes, they are pellets and in the back of the bag one can find a pretty easy graph showing numbers of pelletsXcm of the pot surface. For a medium pot (25~30cm) I've been using around 6 pellets. They last for two or three months depending on the microbiological activity.

Well, it seems it's been working, bougie is flowering early as can be seen in this thread:
