Rookie Bonsai owner here. I've own a "Golden Gate Ficus" (Ficus Microcarpa) for about a year now and I believe that it is growing season for my bonsai? (please tell me if I'm wrong). I am not sure which fertilizer pellet is best for my bonsai and what NPK ratio is best.

Which of the following pellets would work best for me?
- Biogold, NPK 5.5:6:3
- Tamahi, NPK 5.3:4:1
- Omakase, NPK 4:6:2

I also do own Uncle Bill's Bonsai Brew Fertilizer (NPK 3:3:3) that I've used every once in awhile throughout the year (a very small dosage, probably a 1/4 teaspoon total mixed with water over the span of a year on inconsistent basis). I also have Uncle Bill's Bonsai Frit, but I do not know how to use them properly as it says to mix 1 tbsp with a 2qt bag of soil or 1 tsp / 1 gal of water once per year...I haven't repotted my bonsai and not sure if I should be adding soil or a gallon of water..

Also, I can't tell if there's something wrong with my bonsai's growth. As you can see, the leaves grow very weakly and in a lighter shade of green. I live in Minnesota and my Ficus is next to a North facing window indoors. Indoor temp is always between 69-71F degrees.

My bonsai is literally my only friend. Please advise!

It looks OK to me. They need plenty of light though.
I use BioGold to fertilize my Ficus, and it is thickening OK.
Good luck!

Thank you! I will buy try out the BioGold then.

I'm using this on my Bodhi tree as well. Works wonders!
