Books & Guides
Reference books for going deeper than our own care guide covers.
Bonsai in a shallow pot can't forage for nutrients the way a full-size tree can, so regular feeding through the growing season matters more than it does for most houseplants. Slow-release pellets are the lowest-effort option; liquid feed acts faster and is easier to dial back around a stressed or freshly repotted tree. See our fertiliser guide for which suits your routine.
