Dear Matt,

thank you for your advice... just come back from a trip and from what I can see in the dark the first leaves are unfurling. I wasn't worried about overfeeding the tree but the opposite. From what I understand on the package I don't think I used too many cakes for the size of the pot. I do realize that plants photosynthesize most of the things but as some substances out of the soil are essential for that I called it feeding. I'll try to be more precise next time.

I certainly didn't put the fertilizer in layers...

I don't know what it says on the package as it is all in Japanese the only thing I can read is 5.3, 4.0, 1.0 which I assume may refer to NPK but I don't know for sure. And I fear at the time I bought it I didn't ask what exactly it is based on.

Well, you guys all seem to completely unworried about my tree flowering that much so I think I will just sit back and enjoy...
