Omono
I plan to transition from using 10-10-10 granular fertilizer on my bonsai to 6-5-4 granular. This is a wise move, yes? I heard recently 10-10-10 is not advised. Any input is helpful!
Thanks

Which numbers would you recommend for optimal health and growth if not 6-5-4?NPK isn't being consumed or washed away with a 10-10-10 ratio. So therefore it doesn't make sense to add it in that ratio. I still think that 6 to 5 is pretty small ratio in favour of N.
much appreciatedNPK ratio of 3:1:2 plus micro nutrients
I see Holly and Plant Tone and Osmocote at work all the time and have heard many people on here saying they use it with great success.I have alkaline water, so I use Holly Tone, which happens to be a 4-3-4 fertilizer. A bit more phosphorus and potassium than necessary, but it gets the job done. If you don't need to adjust your pH for acid-loving plants, just use Osmocote or Miracle Gro.

After watching a video warning about 10-10-10, I decided to go with 6-4-5 ratio.. but also ordered BIOGOLD (5-6-3) online tonight and picked up a low ratio liquid fish fertilizer as well. My JPN 1 exploded with growth and health last year with the 10-10-10 but I think I’m understanding the need to cut back.
I have not reached the level of testing my water pH levels but I’ve decided to begin collecting rain water and will use that when available (otherwise tap).

It's a brand called Pokon, it's available in my part of Europe but I'm pretty sure it's not sold in the US.from where?
