@bonsai.with.time: Why do bonsai artists leave weird little tea bags on top of their trees? It isn't trash! Those little pouches are actually filled with solid organic fertilizer. Because bonsai soil is made of highly draining rocks, liquid fertilizer washes straight through the pot. By putting a fertilizer cake on top of the soil, every time you water the tree, you brew a little batch of "compost tea" that slowly feeds the roots. It is the smartest way to feed a miniature tree! #bonsai #PlantTok #plantfertilizer #planttips #planthacks
