The message
from lunarstablos contains
these words:


I am confused as to when to add fertilizer to my Bonsai compost.


I am about to repot the tree in the garden for the summer and do not
know when to fertilize it.


Cheers

Feed it a very weakened all purpose fertiliser and by weakened I mean
weakened!!!! The buildup of salts in the soil will harm the tree no end.

Keep it outdoors, no need to pot it on as long as you can water plenty.
If your worried then certainly put it in a bigger pot but no root
cutting.

Bonsai means plant in a tray as a literal translation and I have a
couple of pretty big specimens that most people would not equate to
being Bonsai.
