How to feed & fertilize a Dawn Redwood Bonsai?

Using fertiliser on your dawn redwood will help encourage healthy growth and this should be done periodically from once a week to every two months and only during the growing season. You can start adding Chrysal Liquid Bonsai Feed to your water from March until October and use weekly. Use Naruko Fertiliser Slow Release Bonsai Feed once every one to two months. With bonsai trees, less is more, and we tend to advise using half the recommended dosage to see how your bonsai reacts first.

Using a nitrogen-rich fertiliser will cause a redwood bonsai to shoot up very fast and give a lot of raw bonsai material. However, if you are looking to develop finer branches and avoid uncontrollable growth, fertilize more carefully in summer with a balanced fertiliser.
