[IBC] bonsai food gone bad.
In 3 words, take it back. It has obviously gone off as it
should be a liquid with no solid material at all. I use the Pokon Bonsai fertiliser, and though it is not that strong, I have had great results with it. I use it as indicated on the bottle and the results speak for themselves. All of my trees have shown tremendous growth over the last 6 months that I have been using it. The thing that I like about it is that it is slow release and is as easy as watering your trees. I have even used it on miniature roses and they have also grown quite well.

IMHO pokon bonsai fertilizer is overpriced, you get the same or better
results with regular pokon fertilizer for potted plants or cheaper fertilizers of other brands. I would not pay money for someone else to dilute the product. I doubt that there is something like "slow release" when it comes to liquid fertilizers especially when it comes to bonsai growing in well draining media and watered daily.
