21 Oz Yamato Organic Fertilizer Large Pellet From Hollow Creek Bonsai

21 Oz Yamato Organic Fertilizer Large 1" pellet
Perfectly balanced organic fertilizer for bonsai.

Unlike imported organic pellets that persist for months without breaking down, Yamato 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.

Organic Fertilizer
Is it really better than synthetic?
-

In common with all plants, your bonsai need three basis nutrients: nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. Also in common

with other plants, they don't know (nor do they care) whether these nutrients are derived from decomposing vegetable

and animal matter (organic) or from the production line of a giant chemical plant (synthetic).

So why all the fuss about using organic fertilizers? Consider your bonsai, its container and the soil as a single,

self-contained unit, and compare that to a tree growing in open ground. A bonsai's roots are confined in a small

container, they are growing in a virtually inert and lifeless medium where they rely on you for all their needs - and

their needs don't stop with the basic NPK of synthetic fertilizers. The soil in open ground contains many other

minerals and countless millions of microorganisms that perform a myriad of functions necessary to keep the soil healthy

and vibrant. They build resistance to stress.
