Kikuwa Bonsai Fertilizer Containers

18 pcs.

Authentic Kikuwa Bonsai Fertilizer Containers (also called fertilizer baskets or covers) protect organic fertilizer cakes and slow-release pellets from washing away during watering or being carried off by birds, squirrels, and pests. Manufactured in Japan from durable, weather-resistant plastic, these containers ensure your trees receive a consistent, steady supply of nutrients directly into the soil.

Why Use Kikuwa Fertilizer Baskets?

• Pest & Wildlife Protection: Prevents birds, rodents, and insects from eating or scattering organic fertilizer like Biogold, Rape Seed Cake, or solid pellets.

• Prevents Nutrient Wash-Away: Keeps fertilizer anchored during heavy watering, rainstorms, or overhead hose spraying.

• Cleaner Soil Surface: Keeps moss and bonsai substrate neat by containing the decomposing fertilizer inside the basket rather than letting it turn into unsightly sludge on top of your Akadama or lava rock.

• Targeted Feeding: Spike anchors push securely into the soil mix, keeping nutrients concentrated right above the active root zone.

• Reusable & Weatherproof: Made in Japan using UV-resistant plastic built to handle sun exposure, rain, and repeated seasonal use without cracking.

How to Use

1. Fill: Open the lid (or top opening) and place your preferred organic fertilizer cake or slow-release pellet inside.

2. Anchor: Firmly press the bottom spikes directly into the bonsai soil near the feeder roots (avoid placing directly against the trunk).

3. Water: Water your bonsai as normal. As water flows through the basket slits, it breaks down the fertilizer gradually, dripping rich nutrients straight into the substrate.
