Default [IBC] Bonsai food (was: bonsai food gone bad.)

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.


YES! Plant nutrients are plant nutrients; the basics are the
same in all fertilizers. Percentages may vary, the specific
kinds of micro-nutrients may vary, but otherwise, NPK is NPK.

The are varying delivery systems, dry, liquid, slow-release,
timed-release, so-called "chemical" vs. so-called "organic," etc.
but what they all do is deliver needed nutrients to the plant.
Bonsai don't give a hoot what they get, just so they get.

As someone else on this thread mentioned, if the word "Bonsai" is
on the label, you are paying too much (and if the label is
written in Japanese, you are paying WAY too much). Manufacturers
and marketers of fertilizers know the word "sucker" as well as
the makers of human dietary supplements do.

people have learned to appreciate and cherish the landscape and
its living cover will they treat it with the care and respect it
should have - Paul Bigelow Sears.
