I love your videos. I hope to see your garden tour video one day ...😃 May i know what is the fertilisation regime that you employ on your bonsai plants? How often do you fertilise them please?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you. My mother takes care of the bonsais at my hometown. She fertilises every 2 weeks during the growing season.

Hi, would sifting the materials used be beneficial...?

I prefer it this way for better drainage and aeration.

All about plant me Use kar skate hi

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

If you want to know if this soil mix can be used for all plants then my answer is probably not.

[@iPheek]

You might want to post where your location, as this wouldn’t work for other areas, especially where it rains a lot or humid areas.

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

I live in the tropics. Summers are extreme and humid. There’s two months of heavy rain during July and August. This mix works very well in our region.

[@iPheek]

@@TheUrbanNemophilist yikes! Okay!

[@nestormacaraniag8604]

How about decomposed granite mixed with potting soil mix? Your comments will be highly appfeciated. Thanks.

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Never used it so no idea at the moment. Give it a try and let me know the results. Thanks

Is there any substitute for cocopeat

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

You can try dried sphagnum moss. However coco peat works well and is easily available in all local nurseries and online marketplaces.

Can I use this soil mix for portulacaria afra (commonly known as jade plant in India)?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Yes sure you can. I use it for my Jade plants too. Check these out kzbin.info/www/bejne/b57FZaJ4g6h2prM kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH20gJirbpZ9is0

@@daminipatel4464 no worries. Keep the questions coming. Yes you can skip but I would strongly recommend it. Really helps prevent mold and fungus
