Because Bonsai trees are cultivated in limited amounts of soil, adequate feed is very important. As a general rule, a small amoumt of feed is given in the spring and a larger amount in the fall. Water before fertilizing your tree and then apply at half the strength recommended by the brand's manufacturer. We rotate the use of brands since different manufacturers add different amounts of trace elements and minerals. We also add superthrive which is a vitamin supplement to our fertilizer mix.
All trees grow in more humid conditions than our homes, offices and dormitories.
Misting the tree is only beneficial for a short time, so what we recommend is to place the tree on a humidity tray and add water to the tray. As the water in the tray evaporates it creates a humid environment around the tree 24 hours a day. When the water in the tray is gone, add more water. It's a good idea to separate the pot from the water in the tray by adding some pebbles to the bottom of the tray. This will prevent any roots from sitting in the water.
