Caring for Your Bonsai Tree | Feeding Accessories

Feeding accessories play a vital role in keeping bonsai healthy, balanced, and full of life. Because bonsai grow in a confined soil space, they rely entirely on us for the nutrients they need to grow and flourish. The right feeding routine supports strong roots, healthy foliage, and steady, natural growth.

Bonsai fertiliser forms the foundation of good care. Indoor bonsai benefit from regular feeding throughout the growing season, while outdoor bonsai should be fed from spring through to autumn and allowed to rest during winter. Alongside feeding, leaf care is equally important. The Bonsai Direct Mist helps maintain humidity around the foliage while also providing gentle foliar feeding, which supports active, healthy leaves in indoor environments.

For added support, plant invigorators and leaf conditioners help strengthen overall vigour, improve resilience, and reduce the likelihood of pest and disease issues. Used together, these feeding and care accessories make bonsai care feel simple, consistent, and rewarding, helping your tree thrive over time.

How Often Should You Feed a Bonsai Tree?

Feeding is a vital part of caring for your bonsai tree. Because nutrients are quickly used up in small pots, regular feeding keeps the tree healthy and helps prevent weakness, pests, and disease. We recommend using a recognised bonsai fertiliser, such as our own, rather than general plant food, which can be too strong and may damage the roots.

Indoor bonsai should be fed weekly during spring, summer, and autumn, with feeding reduced to around once every two weeks in winter when growth slows.

Outdoor bonsai should be fed once a week during the growing seasons which is typically March – October.

Everything bonsai needs: Rated 5 out of 5

One of the first things I notice when I look at a bonsai is not the shape or the pot. It’s the leaves. Healthy foliage tells you almost everything you need to know about how a tree is being cared for. Feeding and leaf care sit quietly behind that, but they make all the difference.

A bonsai cannot draw nutrients from the wider landscape like a garden tree can. What it receives comes directly from the grower. That responsibility does not need to feel complicated, but it does need to be consistent.

“In a pot, a bonsai depends on you completely.
Good care is about regular support, not dramatic fixes.”

That is why I favour a simple liquid fertiliser as the foundation of feeding. The Bonsai Direct liquid fertiliser delivers balanced nutrition without pushing the tree too hard. Used regularly, it encourages steady growth, good leaf colour, and stronger roots. I prefer this approach because it supports the whole tree, not just what you can see above the soil. Our bonsai fertiliser is supplied as a concentrated solution and is easy to apply and quick for the bonsai to uptake.

Indoor bonsai face a different challenge. Modern homes are dry, especially during the colder months. Over time, that dryness affects leaf health. The Bonsai Direct Mist helps restore humidity around the foliage and keeps leaves clean and actively foliar fed.

“Misting isn’t about shine.
It’s about keeping the leaves working properly.”

I see the best results when misting becomes part of a routine rather than a reaction. Small, regular care always wins out in bonsai.

For added support, especially when a tree looks tired or under pressure, SB Plant Invigorator comes into its own. Used as a foliar treatment, it helps lift overall vigour while supporting the bonsai’s natural resilience. It does not force growth or overwhelm the tree. Instead, it strengthens what is already there. Regular use also helps deter common pests and reduce the risk of disease before problems take hold.

“I’d rather prevent problems than treat them.
A good plant invigorator helps keep pests and disease from taking hold.”
