GREEN DREAM
NPK 6:6:6
Perfectly balanced organic fertilizer for bonsai.
"I used
Green Dream 6:6:6 in the UK for over fifteen years with spectacular
results!"
Colin
Lewis
Unlike imported organic pellets that persist for months without breaking down, Green Dream is designed to release most of its nutrients over a period of four to six weeks (with the N released sooner than the P or K), giving your trees the nutrients they need when they need it.
Also, unlike those bland innocuous imports, Green Dream is a truly active organic composite: it "smells organic", it grows mold when it rains, it provides nourishment in a readily acceptable form with the help of valuable microorganisms.
Try Green Dream and within a month you'll be amazed at the performance of your trees!

MICROTOTAL
Micronutrient supplement for bonsai
Bonsai soil is virtually inert, containing little or no nutrient value. Similarly, most fertilizers contain adequate amounts of the three major nutrients (NPK: nitrogen phosphorus and potassium) but they usually lack the essential micronutrients. Although only needed in minute quantities, micronutrients are indispensable to a tree's well-being. Many of the worrying problems we see in our trees from time to time can be attributed to a deficiency of one or more micronutrient.
MicroTotal contains eight essential chelated micronutrients: Magnesium (Mg), Sulphur (S), Boron (B), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Molebdenum (Mo) and Zinc (Zn), in a formula that is extremely effective when applied as a foliar spray, or can be used as a soil drench during normal watering.
Learn more about micronutrient deficiency.
After just one or two applications you should see a marked improvement in your bonsai's appearance and performance.
Safe, non-toxic and economical to use.
8oz bottle
(enough for a full eight gallons of foliar spray)
0-10-10
Nitrogen-free fertilizer for bonsai
0-10-10 has for years been recommended by bonsai experts for manipulating growth in a number of ways:
Spring feeding pines with 0-10-10 will help reduce needle length and candle extension, and encourages sturdy shoots. (Normal balanced fertilizer such as Green Dream is resumed when needles have set.)
Mid- to late summer application of 0-10-10 will help flower bud set on spring flowering species such as azalea, crab apple, cherry, wisteria, etc.
Fall feeding all trees with 0-10-10 will help to prevent unseasonal soft growth that will not withstand winter, and will increase cold hardiness of the roots.
8oz bottle
(enough to make 16 gallons)
C-FOOD
100% organic Fish Emulsion
Nature's gentlest fertilizer - will never burn roots!
Japanese bonsai growers have traditionally used fish fertilizer (sometimes whole fish!) as the mainstay for older bonsai. C-Food is made entirely from seagoing fish (you don't want to know how, believe me!) and will provide a rapid but gentle supply of nutrients, either in the soil or as a foliar feed.
Use for newly transplanted trees or trees with weak roots.
Use as a foliar spray to freshen the color on pines in spring.
Use for established bonsai where strong but controled growth is desired.
8oz bottle
(enough to make 16 gallons)
JIN SEAL
Lime Sulfur Compound for preserving and bleaching deadwood on
bonsai.
Apply undiluted to dampened deadwood with a synthetic bristle artist's brush. Best results are obtained when applied in full sun. Remove excess from bark immediately with a damp cloth or paper towel.
Jin Seal is a more concentrated solution than the regular garden nursery product.
Use with extreme
care, eye and skin protection recomended.
MYCONOX
Mycorrhizal inoculant
Virtually all plants in nature form mycorrhizal relationships with subterranean fungi which benefit them by increasing the plants' ability to gather moisture and nutrients. Research has shown clearly that plants growing with mycorrhiza in the soil grow more strongly, are more resistant to stress and disease, and are more tolerant of drought.
MYCONOX contains the spores of no fewer than fifteen species of mycorrhizal fungus, which guarantees that whatever species you grow, there will be at least one species of fungus that will benefit your bonsai - and your flower or vegetable garden too!
60cc jar contains enough inoculant to treat up to 60 containers.
Contains spores of the following mycorrhizal fungi: (Endomycorrhizal (VAM) spores) Glomus aggregatum, Glomus clarum, Glomus deserticola, Glomus intraradices, Glomus monosporus, Glomus mosseae, Gigaspora margarita, Paraglomus brasilianum. (Ectomycorrhyzal spores) Lacarria laccata, Pisolithus, Rhizopogon amylpogon, Rhizopogon fulvigleba, Rhizopogon rubescens, Rhizopogon villosuli, Scleroderma spp.
