Discussion for September...
The temperature is moderating (Here in Dallas, we have our highs during the afternoons about five degrees lower and the mornings are also around four degrees lower than the first days in August. By the end of the month the daytime temperatures are nine degrees cooler and the morning temperatures are also nine degrees cooler than that same day in August ).

The light is waning (Here in Dallas, we have lost about one hour of daylight from this same day in August).

What does this mean to you and of course to your Bonsai? It may seem premature....but, it's not... start to think of cutting down on the amount of Nitrogen
you are feeding your Bonsai. Nitrogen is a gas that occurs naturally in the air and soil, where it is converted into usable forms for plant use by bacteria and other natural processes. This nutrient is a constituent of proteins and is vital to plant-growing processes. As we wind down the Summer you should consider applying our 0-10-10 Fertilizer to your bonsai. The NPK are the symbols for the three primary nutrients needed by plants. N for the total nitrogen, P for available phosphorus and K for water-soluble potassium. The above mentioned fertilizer then has no nitrogen with a 10 percent amount of phosphorus and 10 percent amount of potassium. This formula will slow down the plants foliage growth and harden off the bonsai for the stresses of winter weather.

We offer this fertilizer in two sizes:
F78..which is FUJIYAMA Specialty Fertilizer in 2 two ounce bottles (a total of 4 ounces) for $5.50 and F79 which is 2 Eight ounce bottles (a total of 16 ounces) for $13.95.
 
Fujiyama Specialty Fertilizer 0-10-10 Contains No Nitrogen.This Specialty fertilizer is especially formulated without nitrogen to promote hardening off or winter hardiness in bonsai. While promoting root growth and brighter colors in foliage it does not promote foliage growth which can be damaged by low temperatures. 2 Teaspoons in 1 gallon of water. Apply every 2 weeks until frost.
