I have a ficus ginseng. I last watered last month 21st jan and also gave it bonsai plant food. My question is, its coming up 1 month since the last feed and the instructions for the food is to feed monthly during winter, can I go ahead and give it food on the 21st without it being watered again because the soil is still damp. I use the chopstick method.
Cheers
If your plant is dormant, I would not really feed it. Wait until it is in active growth. It is good that your are checking the sol moisture. What kind of plant food are you using. If it is a water soluble, just add it when you water next. If it is granular, it should be able to go more than a month.
I prefer to use slow release on the bonsai and most of my plants because I have so many, it is easier to fertilizer 3-4 times a year rather than every month especially since I don't use miracle grow on the yard anymore.
