Finally, a full live stream dedicated to the hot topic of fertilization. People tend to think about fertilization as this singular, perfectly packaged piece of knowledge that they can learn and uniformly apply to their trees. Alas, as with most things in bonsai, it is more complicated than that. Fertilizer is not food for the tree, it is more like supplemental nutrition aiding various processes of growth. Trees in nature obtain these supplemental nutrients via the soil and natural decomposition of organic matter in the surrounding environment. With bonsai, the tree is in a containerized, highly controlled environment, so it is necessary to manually add in that supplemental nutrition when appropriate. Tonight on Mirai Live, learn the strategy, the horticulture, and the secrets to using fertilizer as a mechanism of developing and refining your bonsai. Join us live in the studio or catch the stream in the archive this Thursday. 6pm PDT - Link in Bio #buildyourskills #bonsai #trees
