Product Information
Full details
Westland Bonsai Feed Concentrate is designed for dedicated bonsai enthusiasts who need a professional-grade, balanced liquid nutrient solution to support the health and aesthetic vitality of miniature trees. Its key benefit is providing essential micronutrients that strengthen root networks and promote compact, vibrant leaf growth without triggering unwanted rapid growth spurts. Users should note that this is a concentrate requiring precise dilution, and it must be applied directly to the compost to avoid potential foliage burn.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
How often should I use this feed?
Apply regularly during the growing season (spring and summer), typically once every two weeks or as dictated by the specific needs of your bonsai variety.
Can I use this on indoor bonsai trees?
Yes, it is perfectly suitable for indoor bonsai, provided you follow the dilution instructions carefully.
Does this product expire?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place, the concentrate remains effective for an extended period, but it is best used within two years of opening.
Why must I avoid the foliage?
The high concentration of nutrients can cause 'fertilizer burn' on the delicate leaves of a bonsai tree, leading to browning or necrotic spots.
Can I mix this with other plant treatments?
It is generally recommended to use this feed alone to avoid chemical interactions or accidental over-fertilization.
Troubleshooting
Yellowing leaves despite regular feeding
Check for overwatering or root rot, as blocked roots cannot absorb the nutrients provided by the feed.
White crust on the soil surface after feeding
This is a buildup of mineral salts. Flush the soil thoroughly with plain water and reduce the concentration of the feed in your next application.
Pros and Cons

- Supports compact leaf and stem structure

Cons

- Must be kept away from foliage to prevent chemical burn
- Not suitable for use as a foliar spray
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the feed, simply squeeze the bottle to fill the integrated measuring cap. Mix the measured concentrate into the specified volume of water until fully combined. This product is compatible with almost all indoor and outdoor bonsai species, including conifers and deciduous varieties.
For best results, store the bottle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and keep the cap tightly sealed to maintain the efficacy of the nutrients. Ensure that your bonsai pots have adequate drainage holes; if the soil is severely compacted or waterlogged, address those structural issues before fertilizing, as stagnant water can prevent the roots from effectively absorbing the nutrients.
